{"product_id":"a-different-drummer","title":"A different drummer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe month is June 1957. The setting is Sutton, a backwater town in a southern US state. One afternoon, a young black farmer by the name of Tucker Caliban matter-of-factly throws salt on his field, shoots his horse and livestock, sets fire to his house and departs the state; and thereafter the entire African-American population leave with him. The reaction that follows is told across a dozen chapters, each from the perspective of a white townsperson. These range from boys, girls, men, women; who are either liberal, conservative, bigoted or sympathetic - yet who are all grappling with this spontaneous, collective rejection of subordination. 'A Different Drummer' is an exploration of what it is like to live in a white-dominated society. It's a transparent, brutally honest portrayal of the impact and repercussions of systematised oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"riverrun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43450191184023,"sku":"9781787478039","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9857\/1159\/files\/9781787478039.jpg?v=1700311467","url":"https:\/\/bookbag.mom\/products\/a-different-drummer","provider":"Bookbag Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
