I recently read John Dittmer's excellent Local people : the struggle for civil rights in Mississippi and Neil R. McMillen's Dark journey : black Mississippians in the age of Jim Crow is on my up-next shelf. But there seems to have been very little written on the state of African American rights and life since the civil rights movement. Is anyone aware of a good book on this recent history?

If you are interested in Mississippi politics since then, I suggest In Search of Another Country: Mississippi and the Conservative Counterrevolution by Joseph Crespino and Mississippi Politics: The Struggle for Power, 1976-2006 by Jere Nash and Andy Taggart.
