GEORGE, C. V. R., One Mississippi, Two Mississippi. Methodists, Murder, and the Struggle for Racial Justice in Neshoba County. Oxford University Press, 2015. 328p. Hardback. Flannery O'Connor wrote about the value of 'reading a small history in a universal light.' In writing her extraordinary analytic history of Mt. Zion Methodist Church in Philadelphia, Mississippi, Carol V.R. George has taken O'Connor's injunction to heart. The result is an exceptional book that uses the history of a single church, albeit a historically resonant one, as the lens through which to interrogate the enduring American dilemma of race. An altogether exemplary work that humanizes and localizes the dilemma as few other works ever have.
