Acerca de esta escucha

In this beautifully textured first novel by the author of the acclaimed short story collection Homemade Love, the history of one slave family becomes symbolic for all slaves and slaveholders.

Family is a stunning, often painfully graphic re-creation of the realities of slavery: black women raped by white masters; black children sold to sustain failing plantations - or to satisfy the whims of a petulant mistress; strong men humiliated, whipped, and beaten because of the color of their skin. But it is also the triumphant story of a mother whose loving spirit transcends the barriers of death and time, allowing her to watch over her children and her children’s children.

In simple, hauntingly poetic language, the slave Clora, who killed herself to escape an unbearable existence, recounts the “grief and misery that is soul and core of the life of a slave” and follows her children as they experience the joys and challenges of emancipation, create new lives for themselves and their families in the postwar South, in northern cities, and abroad, and hold fast to their dreams and their faith as they confront the fear and hatred that permeates their world.

This is a beautiful, eye opening story that every human should read. This masterpiece should lead to Black people respecting our humble and forced beginnings while praising God for the strength of our ancestors.

I have always liked the writings of J. California Cooper and this was no exception. Family is thought provoking as generations come and go. Makes me wonder how many family members I have lived alongside of, worked with and never met. In the end, we are all joined one way or another. Nice narration.

J. California Cooper understands the legacy of slavery and how it is truly the story of America and tells it in such a colorful way without a lot of malice but is lyrical as she tells it. This belongs in the cannon with Walker, Morrison and Hurston

This story is an American story
