"Cain (Down from Moonshine) delivers on the promise of this
profound biography's subtitle by lauding the intentionally crafted
legacy of Margaret Burroughs... [an] inspiring account of a force
of nature." --Publishers Weekly
"Without question, this is the most serious, scholarly biography of
Margaret Burroughs to date; successfully narrating the prescient
details of her long life. It will appeal not only to scholars
interested in particular cultural and intellectual moments in Black
Chicago history, but to general readers interested in African
American history, the city of Chicago, and its cultural
institutions." --Bill V. Mullen, author of Popular Fronts: Chicago
and African-American Cultural Politics, 1935-46
