Catfish Dream centers around the experiences, family, and struggles of Ed Scott Jr. (born in 1922), a prolific farmer in the Mississippi Delta and the first ever nonwhite owner and operator of a catfish plant in the nation.

Both directly and indirectly, the economic and political realities of food and subsistence affect the everyday lives of Delta farmers and the people there. Ed's own father, Edward Sr., was a former sharecropper turned landowner who was one of the first black men to grow rice in the state. Ed carries this mantle forth with his soybean and rice farming and later with his catfish operation, which fed the black community both physically and symbolically. He provides an example for economic mobility and activism in a region of the country that is one of the nation's poorest and has one of the most drastic disparities in education and opportunity, a situation especially true for the Delta's vast African American population. With Catfish Dream Julian Rankin provides a fascinating portrait of a place through his intimate biography of Scott, a hero at once so typical and so exceptional in his community.

It works
Size: 6.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Well this product works. At first I thought maybe the Caribbean sun wasn’t as bad as people said since I was in the sun for 4 days wearing this sunscreen and hardly had tan lines, then I tested my theory for 1 day with another brand and got a sunburn. I took star off (would really only do a half if it allowed) for when you go in the water or if you sweat there is a bit of white residue that it leaves. But for sun purposes, if you want protection, I highly recommend.

A must have for superior sun protection!

Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 50 is an absolute game-changer when it comes to sun protection. Whether you're relaxing at the beach, swimming, or enjoying an outdoor adventure, this sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection that effectively shields the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. One of its standout features is its lightweight texture, it glides effortlessly onto the skin without feeling greasy or heavy. Unlike some sunscreens that leave a sticky residue, Beach Defense absorbs quickly and smoothly, making it ideal for both face and body application. Another major plus? Water resistance! This formula stays put, even after swimming or sweating, ensuring continuous protection throughout the day. And despite its strong defense against the sun, it feels refreshing and comfortable on the skin, making reapplication a breeze. I used it during a vacation in the Dominican Republic, and me and my family enjoyed it. My 5 years old girl has been protected from the sun all the time. If you're looking for reliable, effective, and easy-to-use sun protection, this sunscreen is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! ☀️👌
