Críticas
BookPage "The Past Is Never Dead works both as a true crime potboiler and as a broader allegory of the South's search for redemption." Booklist "From jury selection through the actual trial, MacLean offers a portrait of a state grappling with its past and anxious to remove its stigma." CrimeRant.com "With this book, Harry proves just how good he is as a lawyer and author...You will be riveted. Enough said." Jackson Free Press "MacLean's writing is unambiguous and clear, entertaining and fast-paced...The book is riveting." Denver Post "[E]xtraordinary...What makes this book so profound are MacLean's insights into how the trial reflects Mississippi's social mores and internal conflict." Roll Call "[I]nsightful for anyone who wants a better understanding of the history of race relations in the South." Stephen White, New York Times bestselling author of The Siege "Harry MacLean proves it yet again: Take a simmering controversy, a tense courtroom, and a pressing need for social context, and America has no better literary guide than MacLean. In The Past is Never Dead, he focuses his considerable storytelling talent on Mississippi's attempt to resurrect itself from the horrors of its segregationist past as James Ford Seale is brought to trial for his role in the deaths of Henry Dee and Charles Moore. MacLean brings the epic trial to life while he translates modern Mississippi's struggles for transformation. A powerful, timely book about the misunderstood, modern South." Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "Even decades after the Civil Rights Movement wrought real change throughout the United States, Mississippi remains ground zero for what can be called the ongoing drama of racial inequality. This is the ground Harry Maclean walks in this fierce, moving, and tremendously engaging book." Laurence Shames, author of Boss of Bosses and Not Fade Away "Fast-paced and tough-minded, The Past is Never Dead combines a taut and vivid courtroom drama with a passionate and cogent meditation on race, justice, and the awful burden of history."
Reseña del editor
On May 2, 1964, Klansman James Ford Seale picked up two black hitchhikers and drowned both young men in the Mississippi River. Seale spent more than forty years a free man, before finally facing trial in 2007. There could have been two defendants in the resulting case: James Ford Seale for kidnapping and murder, and the State of Mississippi for complicity--knowingly aiding, abetting, and creating men like Seale. In The Past Is Never Dead, best-selling author Harry MacLean follows Seale's trial, the legal difficulties of prosecuting kidnapping and murder charges decades after the fact, and the strain on a state contending with a past that can't be forgiven. MacLean's narrative is at once the account of a gripping legal battle and an acute meditation on the possibility of redemption.
