On the one hand I thoroughly enjoyed this book but on the other hand I kept feeling a bit of forced guilt on the behalf of the author. Frank Beacham was anything but a Southern apologist, which he shouldn’t be anyway, I felt the story was written to attach himself and distance himself at the same time.
That being said Frank Beacham has done a wonderful job at telling the stories. There were three stories covered in the book: The origin of the shag – the official dance of South Carolina, the Orangeburg police massacre of non-violent students at South Carolina State University in the late 1960’s and the tale of a bloody crackdown in Beacham’s hometown during the Great Depression which has repurcussions to this day. (The author discovered via friends that the aggression was started by none other than his own grandfather!)
The stories are interesting and compelling. I’m glad I read it.

This was the sign outside the door at Sylvana Avakian’s house in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I took this especially for my good friend, Tony Avakian, her cousin. Tony had me look Sylvana up when I was in Ethiopia in March of 2009.
