Here is a book as joyous and painful, and as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s first memoir, published in 1969 is a modern American classic beloved worldwide.
Sent by their mother to their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” When she journeys at eight to her mother’s side in St. Louis, she is attacked by a man many times her age. Years later, in San Francisco, she learns about love for herself–and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. The kindness of others, Maya’s own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned.
Poetic and powerful–now in a beautiful keepsake edition– I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds as long as people read.

用户评价
上世纪三四十年代的美国南部小镇，尘土飞扬的炎夏永无尽头，黑人们捡拾棉花，一贫如洗，白人似乎是另一个世界的生物，而祖母经营的一间便利店成了唯一的庇护所。Maya Angelo透过童年的自己，轻描淡写地记录下割裂的世界，和窘迫生活中的乐趣与微光。
评分一年半前看的，现在才补完，足以看出我其实没什么兴趣。语言相当优美，只不过前面小女孩的见解真是挺无聊的，到后面倒感到一下子变风格了，特别是最后两章。"The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerence. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance."（272）
评分她的语言象诗歌一样，她的同年如此不幸，很多经历根本无法想象。所以对她致敬。
