Description
Sheila Carter-Jones' Every Hard Sweetness is, on its surface, a collection that documents the experiences of a young African-American girl growing up in a small coal mining town "up North" during the Civil Rights Movement. However, peel back these initial layers and find an exercise in the historical record, a collection of incidents reflective of ongoing racial and class conflicts in an increasingly polarized United States.
