Born of black sharecropper parents, Dickerson, a journalist published in the New Republic, Salon, and other prestigious publications, led a life informed by the poverty of her upbringing.

Industry reviews
"The book [AN AMERICAN STORY] is full of breathtaking observations...."
New York Times Book Review  (10/08/2000)

"[Dickerson is] most powerful when she lets her stories, particularly those about her family, speak for themselves....[D]espite her boldness, Dickerson is oddly withholding about some aspects of her personal life. She mentions boyfriends long enough to tell us that they are white--piquing our interest for her take on interracial relationships--but then drops the subject completely. On one hand, a memoir written by a woman that doesn't focus on the agonies and obsessions of love is refreshing. Yet if the rest of her life is any indication, Dickerson's views on relationships are probably unpredictable, and would have added to the book. You may not like her opinions or the way she expresses them, but it's hard not to admire Dickerson's determination and her relentless passion for teasing ideas apart and then putting them back together in her own, atypical way."
Salon - Maggie Jones (10/03/2000)
