The Last Plantation reviewed in Ethnic and Racial Studies

“Like all great ethnographies, The Last Plantation: Racism and Resistance in the Halls of Congress, transforms the extraordinary into the ordinary. By taking us to the proverbial backstage – in the halls, offices, and cafeterias of Congress – and reporting on the experiences of Black workers in an overwhelmingly white space, James Jones follows a long ethnographic tradition of rendering visible to the reader individuals, places, and processes that would otherwise be invisible.” Nicholas Occhiuto, Hunter College
