Actor Mahershala Ali (House of Cards, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) performs the gripping tale of an armed band of Confederate deserters and slaves living in a mixed-race community who rose up against the Confederate Cavalry in 1863 to form their own republic, free of slavery, in what is now the state of Mississippi. The community they formed - and the ambiguous racial identity of their descendants - confounded the rules of the segregated South well into the 20th century.

In bridging the gap between the legendary and the real Free State of Jones, author Victoria Bynum unwraps the legend - what was told, what was embellished, and what was left out.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[T]he original book is even more explosive than the film adaptation....It's read by House of Cards and Hunger Games: Mockingjay actor Mahershala Ali (who's also appearing in the upcoming Luke Cage series on Netflix, as well as [the film] Free State of Jones), whose rumbling baritone makes for an addictive listen. Since he's not currently reading every audiobook in existence, as we'd prefer, we'll have to settle for this one." [A.V. Club]

Fascinating story for the Civil War enthusiast, as well as those are interested in the American Civil Rights movement. A bit hard to follow via audio as the Knight family tree speeds through the Revolutionary War all the into the mid twentieth century.

Slow start, but interesting story

It is rare that one would come across a book of historical essays in which is educational, informative and entertaining. It is not entertaining in the original sense where the author wrote with such flowery pose but the way that she weaved previous books written on the subject into the Free State of Jones. This is not a one time read. It is to be read and re-read until it is in the marrow of one's bones.

Enlightening

Would you listen to The Free State of Jones again? Why?

No I wouldn't listen to it again, because the book is truly not meant for audio. There is way to many names and dates for a listener, it gets confusing at time trying to remember who is who... that being said, I can only imagine that the actual book is well worth it!?

Any additional comments?

This book is very well written and researched, it is just not for the audio listener.

Great book, but not meant for audio

overall, I found myself really enjoying the book. Details surrounding the narrative were fantastic, and offered a lot of insight into a different side of the Confederate South, which I was previously unfamiliar with. My only complaint is that the readers cadence was sometimes a bit too repetitive. His vice was fantastic, but combined with the somewhat rhythmic nature of his reading, I found it almost hypnotic.

Great story!

I’m the executive producer of this audiobook-- so of course I am one of its biggest fans. But I thought you might like to know a little behind the scenes.

Like most people, I had no idea that there were white and white/black communities of the deep South that resisted the Confederacy and rejected slavery. They were not as “prim” as the Northern abolitionists, to say the least! I was fascinated to meet the author, Victoria Bynum, who had learned she herself was a Jones County descendant.

When she began work on the film-to-be, we started talking about how we could bring the audiobook to life in a new way. What a dream it was to work with co-star Mahershala Ali, who brought so much respect and interest to every little detail of the performance. I LOVE real American history from primary sources, all the little clues about what really happened, behind the cliches. All politics is “personal,” and “local”! This is the kind of story that proves that a million times over...
