About this product

Product Information

Scalawag tells the surprising story of a white working-class boy who became an unlikely civil rights activist. Born in 1935 in Richmond, where he was sent to segregated churches and schools, Ed Peeples was taught the ethos and lore of white supremacy by every adult in his young life. That message came with an equally cruel one-that, as the child of a wage-earning single mother, he was destined for failure. But by age nineteen Peeples became what the whites in his world called a traitor to the race. Pushed by a lone teacher to think critically, Peeples found his way to the black freedom struggle and began a long life of activism. He challenged racism in his U.S. Navy unit and engaged in sit-ins and community organizing. Later, as a university professor, he agitated for good jobs, health care, and decent housing for all, pushed for the creation of African American studies courses at his university, and worked toward equal treatment for women, prison reform, and more. Peeples did most of his human rights work in his native Virginia, and his story reveals how institutional racism pervaded the Upper South as much as the Deep South. Covering fifty years' participation in the long civil rights movement, Peeples's gripping story brings to life an unsung activist culture to which countless forgotten individuals contributed, over time expanding their commitment from civil rights to other causes. This engrossing, witty tale of escape from what once seemed certain fate invites readers to reflect on how moral courage can transform a life.

    Nice book. Sent from Germany but it was in English as described. The only complaint I have is about the mail service that the buyer used, Parcelforce. They tried to deliver Once only, but didn’t leave a card. Instead they sent me a letter telling me to either pick it up at their depot 5 miles away and pay £1, or arrange a redelivery for £5.50. Not impressed, and I’ve learned to stay away from Parcelforce in future. Otherwise good transaction. Thanks!

    It wa bit disappointing that the seller wouldn't reply to my questions about why the description said 'used good' and not what was wrong with it and why not mint, & offering to 'accept an offer' but didn't so I ended up paying full price and taking a chance. However, the vinyl was dispatched immediately and arrived before its expected delivery date, and was packaged securely in 2nd hand shipper. The quality of the vinyl cover was nr mint and vinyl mint so did match the appearance and I am happy.

    Je suis contente de mon achat, la livraison était rapide et l’article était bien emballé. J’ai trouvé quelques petits défauts sur le livre à réception qui était noté « comme neuf ». J’ai alors contacté le vendeur qui m’a rapidement proposé un dédommagement. Je le remercie pour cela. Je recommande ce vendeur !
