Plessy v. Ferguson is one of the most compelling cases of the nineteenth century: its outcome embraced and protected segregation, and its reverberations are still felt into the twenty-first. Award-winning author Steve Luxenberg draws from letters, diaries, and archival collections to tell the story through the eyes of the people caught up in the case. Sweeping, swiftly paced, and richly detailed, Separate provides an urgently needed exploration of our nation’s most devastating divide.
