"By defining key figures, practices, and comparative approaches ... [Representing Segregation] clarif[ies] and validate[s] the work of scholarship on the literature of the Civil Rights Movement ... the volume ... is excellent." -- MELUS

"Norman and Williams have assembled a collection of fine essays addressing the topic of place and space with regard to segregation ... Presenting not only an eye-opening lesson in African American history but also a study in environmental justice, the contributors to this volume explain how race is embedded in the body, street, city, region, and country ... This book settles any question there may have been about whether segregation or Jim Crow narrative exists ... Highly recommended." -- CHOICE
