{"product_id":"a-history-of-florida-marvin-dunn-9781519372673","title":"A History of Florida: Through Black Eyes","description":"I know Florida. I was born in Florida during the reign of Jim Crow and have lived to see black astronauts blasted into the heavens from Cape Canaveral. For three quarters of a century I have lived mostly in Florida. I have seen her flowers and her warts. This book is about both. People of African descent have been in Florida from the arrival of Ponce de Leon in 1513, yet our presence in the state is virtually hidden. A casual glance at most Florida history books depict African Americans primarily as laborers who are shown as backdrops to white history. The history of blacks in Florida has been deliberately distorted, omitted and marginalized. We have been denied our heroes and heroines. Our stories have mainly been left untold. This book lifts the veil from some of these stories and places African Americans in the very marrow of Florida history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marvin Dunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1519372671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781519372673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.77d","brand":"Marvin Dunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995035369727,"sku":"9781519372673","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c934f71d-cbb8-4277-b531-5e664d71c679.jpg?v=1683333574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-florida-marvin-dunn-9781519372673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
