Review Quotes: "Admirable and unexpected...a riveting story that will have his readers weeping with both laughter and sorrow." --Chicago Tribune
"Blood Done Sign My Name is a most important book and one of the most powerful meditations on race in America that I have ever read." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "Pulses with vital paradox . . . It's a detached dissertation, a damning dark-night-of-the-white-soul, and a ripping yarn, all united by Tyson's powerful voice, a brainy, booming Bubba profundo." --Entertainment Weekly "If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Engaging and frequently stunning." --San Diego Union-Tribune
