What All God's children is like to read
A sweeping journalistic history that traces one Black family from Edgefield slavery to modern incarceration, using the Boskets to argue that American violence is inherited generationally. Sober, panoramic, and heavy — the reading experience is closer to a long investigative essay than a true-crime page-turner. Best for: readers of long-form social history who want a rigorously reported argument about race, region, and violence in America.
