Hmmmm I wonder if I would like the Flappers book. It sounds like a fun read! But also like those bits the annoyed you would annoy me as well. :( (Although I do wonder - the bit you quoted, with the poll taxes and gerrymandering and stuff? How much U.S. history about that sort of thing is taught outside the U.S., and was this a book first published here? Because I know what he's talking about there; maybe he thought people would have the requisite knowledge and it didn't need addressing? Except, if that's true, then why didn't he go deeper into the class and race things, and the way politics interacted???)
Ahaha don't mind me I am tired and making no sense and have read too much homework today.
