Pressezitat
“In Sharecropper’s Troubadour, Michael Honey has deftly recovered the remarkable story of John Handcox. Honey provides a powerful and compelling account that takes Handcox’s personal and family story and intertwines it with the STFU’s fight against the racism and economic exploitation of southern sharecropping. … By using oral history, Honey allows the rich and deep nuances of the personal perspective that makes history so compelling to rise to the fore. … Sharecropper’s Troubadour is an outstanding work.” (Scott Holzer, Missouri Historical Review, Vol. 110 (4), July, 2016)
