"Jackson’s new book would be a welcomed addition to classes centered on post-emancipation African American experiences in North America. The use of ethnographic and ethnohistorical analysis makes Heritage, Tourism, and Race a great case study for methodology classes in anthropology, history, and Black studies." - Ayana Omilade Flewellen, Transforming Anthropology
