"Here is the best of the documentary tradition--its narrative possibilities realized wonderfully, suggestively by a talented wrtier of fiction who uses his storytelling skills to present a range of Americans to the rest of us, their fellow citizens."
--Robert Coles
"Somehow Randall Kenan has managed the impossible: weaving ethnography and poetry into a wonderful narrative about what it means to be black at the end of the century. Walking on Water astutely comprehends the complexity and beautiful contrdictions in the contour of black life. Reading Walking on Water is an extraordinary sojourn."
--Manning Marable, Professor of History, Director, Institute for Research in African-American Studies, Columbia University
"[This book] pulsates with the multilayered rhythms of an epic . . . A lush tapestry of place, people, and personal reflection that is much more than the sum of its parts . . . Kenan's masterwork is a panoramic document of African-American life at the end of the 20th century. It is also a labor of love and a majestic offering to the future."
--Salim Muwakkil, Chicago Tribune
"A work of insight and compassion . . . What makes Walking on Waterso unusual is Kenan's willingness to look beyond the usual places, places not exactly known for the density of their black population, like Bangor, ME, and Grand Forks, ND."
--Alan Wolfe, The New York Times Book Review
