The son of black sharecroppers, John Oliver Hodges attended segregated schools in Greenwood, Mississippi, in the 1950s and '60s, worked in plantation cotton fields, and eventually left the region to earn multiple degrees and become a tenured university professor. Delta Fragments is Hodges's autobiographical journey back to the land of his birth. Brimming with memories of family life, childhood friendships, and the often brutal injustices of the Jim Crow South, it also offers a meditation on the present state of race relations in America.
