Maya Angelou was among the first African-American women to hit the bestseller lists with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Throught her script writing and directing, she has been a groundbreaker for black women in film. She was also nominated for an Emmy Award for her acting in Roots. Themes of love and the universality of all lives run through her work.
"The honorary duty of a human being is to love."
Maya Angelou
"What you looking at me for?"
1930s America teaches Marguerite that black is ugly and that the abuse she suffers is her own fault. It is only in her teens that Marguerite emerges from the private world of muteness into which she has withdrawn and confronts the prejudice around her. She is no longer a victim, bt a champion of her own identiy.
Maya Angelou's classic autobiographical account of her childhood is a powerful and moving evocation of a black girl's struggle against her oppressors.
Adapted into film

评分《新民晚报》 ◎陈增爵 自传体小说《我知道笼中鸟为何歌唱》的作者玛雅·安吉洛是美国著名黑人女作家,这个书名出自美国黑人诗人保罗《同情》中的诗句:“我知道笼中鸟为何歌唱……那不是喜悦或欢乐,那是他从心底深处发出的祈祷。那是卑微的请求,传到他翱翔的天堂...
评分 评分阅读这本书让我想起本雅明对他童年时代柏林的描述,不是因为相似,而是因为相异。相异但同样奇特的感知方式。 我深为本雅明的回忆而倾倒,在他的记忆和笔端,童年生活不是经由时间而是空间做出铺陈,是思想地形图的呈现:动物园、内阳台、柏林老西区、祖母和姨妈们的房子、学...
