Carter's black lawyer since the Ocean Park Empire. So when I read that he wrote a book about his grandmother's career as a lawyer who fought The opening paragraph emphasized this sentiment: "The assault was set at 9 p.m. '
However, both the tone and the timeline were later reset, and Eunice Carter's talk of the gang investigation and prosecution is held up until about a third of the book.
Instead, Carter takes us to the Civil War, his family's experience of slavery and freedom, and what Carter called the "cruelty" of Negroes (and women of all nations) until the Great Depression. And he brought it back to the discriminatory rollercoaster. New York politics, especially in the 1920s and 30s, was very interesting, but the readers warmed up in the opening paragraph to read book covers and the mafia couldn't blame them for being a bit frustrated.
But when you get started, the story of Eunice Carter's role in defeating gangsters like Lucky Luciano, president of Tammany Hall, Jimmy Hines can be read as a good legal thriller. The political battle I witnessed and participated in was the fight against crime. She seemed to know all the prominent Negro Americans of the time, from Richard Wright to Thurgood Marshall, and perhaps most of the more famous whites of Thomas Dewey and Eleanor Roosevelt. What is not visible is not only the biography but also the life of the Depression, the Second World War, the rise of communism, and its response.
Eunice Hunton Carter, whom I met invisible, was an amazing and complex person who overcame enormous obstacles and achieved great success.example for his wife, but Eunice's own choices exemplify traditional family practices, especially when it comes to caring for her children. Probably not something he should do. I have seen many commitments to the Eunice Carter cause. I haven't seen much love.
Carter began writing the histories and biographies of his amazing grandmother, not surprisingly focusing on his family, but also curious to leave it unanswered. This raises some obvious questions in the minds of the reader. This was the most satisfying aspect of the book for me. For the first time, for Carter's benefit, I learned that Lucky Luciano's real name is Salvatore Lucania. but it appears that Lucanía remained in Lucanía for some time after arriving here. The curious mind wants to know the reason for changing its name! Later, when describing a team of 20 lawyers led by Dewey that disbanded Lucky Luciano's gangster efforts, he said the group "comprised of a man who later served in the cabinet of two United States presidents. Another Attorney General and Secretary of State.” I have not read the online version of the book and cannot find it easily, so I may have missed something, but the mind asking again wants to know who it is. At one point, he pointed to Stephanie St. Clair, claiming that “Gangster” spent a total of 820 days in prison, $3/4 million “in prison.” There is no explanation for who Stephanie St. Clair is, and it's not exactly a generic name, so I googled it and found her very rare entity, gangster In the Negro. I found it! Great! After about 60 pages, Carter again mentioned St. Clair and explained who she was, but he would have done well before to satisfy the reader's curiosity.
Well, he raised some unanswered questions, but Carter also answered some questions he didn't know he had. Invisible is a fascinating family story that Stephen Carter can reasonably be proud of, as it convinces of an important era in American history, intertwined with issues of racial, political, and personal ambition. It's a powerful picture. I am very happy to have known Eunice Carter. If your expectations are set to the right story, it will.
I admit I was very worried when I ordered this book. I had a gift card that lowered the price of the book to $5, so I decided to take a chance with BookOutlet. This book arrived about 7 days after I ordered it in a padded envelope with a tracking number. (5-star shipping fee) The condition of the book in my opinion is VG-LN. A small black dot indicates that the book is the remainder of the copy. I buy books to read, so the rest of the signs help me afford them. (State 5 Stars) The cover of the book is interesting. I don't know if this is the original book because there is no book title on the back of the book and the cover of the volume. However, there is everything else on the cover of the original book. This could be the cover of the book in the first round. But really... I'm really excited to get a book cover. It doesn't matter if it's pre-production or reprinted...I'm excited about any relevant info! I know the sellers of the remaining copies (5 stars on the book cover) list it as LN-VG. I also know there is a lot of discussion on this topic. In my opinion, Book Outlets are listing books correctly and I am confident that they will be of good quality in the future and will order their books. What a great 5-star experience!
