5.0 out of 5 stars An indepth look at the norms of prejudice and bullying., July 20, 2012
This review is from: The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap (Paperback)
This book is not only a statement on friendship and tolerance but also of love – physical, emotional and spiritual. The story is moving and intelligently enables us to look at cultural norms that encourage prejudice and bullying. I appreciate Ms. Mahurin proficiency in creating a perfect setting to get to the heart of such controversial issues. The quotes she uses from authors of that time, the late 1800s, add to the backdrop of the story and are also totally appropriate for today.

About The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of the Monroe Doctrine in settling a boundary dispute between the United Kingdom and Venezuela; and Oscar Wilde was tried and convicted for "gross indecency" under Britian's recently passed law that made sex between males a criminal offense. When the news of Wilde's conviction went out over telegraphs worldwide, it threw a small Nevada town into chaos. This is the story of what happened when the lives of its citizens were impacted by the news of Oscar Wildes' imprisonment. It is chronicle of hatred and prejudice with all its unintended and devastating consequences, and how love and friendship bring strength and healing.
