A Problem of Memory: Stories to End the Racial Nightmare
Taylor Sparrow
A Problem of Memory makes history immediately useful to struggles for liberation. Rooted in coversations with students, educators, organizers and historians, this book connects the “transportation” of Irish people to the New World with the Haitian revolution, John Brown’s resistance against slavery, and present day struggles to end racial disparities. A central focal point of the book is Frederick Douglass High School, an all-black (and officially "failing") school in the now infamous 9th Ward of New Orleans.
