In the coda, the author describes On Juneteenth as "this brief sketch of the history of Texas, told through vignettes of my family," and I think that sums this up perfectly. The final chapter discusses the history of Juneteenth specifically, while the preceding chapters cover various topics in race relations throughout Texas history. All the chapters also include memoir and family history.

Thanks to Libro.fm and the publisher for a free advance listening copy. (Once I saw it was narrated by Karen Chilton, I knew I had to listen to it!)
