These reissues of Graham's novels about an African-American family confronting implacable racism bring the struggle for civil rights vividly to life. In South, David Williams and his family make the decision to move out of the segregated South; North details the whole new set of problems that emerges after they move; Whose and Return continue the story of David's education and return to the South to set up his medical practice. [Review covers these titles: North Town, Return to South Town, South Town, and Whose Town?.]
