- "Jim Crow Guide to the U.S.A. documents the systems of legally imposed apartheid that prevailed in the United States from the Civil War to the civil rights movement that eventually overthrew the system of enforced segregation known as 'Jim Crow.' Stetson Kennedy, a native southerner and lifelong campaigner against racism and injustice who once served as a government infiltrator of the Ku Klux Klan, uses a mock guidebook format to cover every area of Jim Crow's reach, including where and with whom one could live, study, work, travel, eat, sleep, play, assemble, or marry. When the book was first written, no U.S. publisher would touch it, and it was published in France with Jean-Paul Sartre as editor."--Page 4 of cover.
