"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 It is only in her teens that Marguerite emerges from the private world of muteness into which she has withdrawn and confronts the prejudice around her.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
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.

Maya Angelou

评分英文版读的时间长了也就不烧脑了。大学时教过一个爱尔兰外教汉语,一次在她家里,她朋友给我推荐Maya,后来在准备考研的过程中在美国文学简史上读到过她的书。再后来,在菲律宾做汉语教师志愿者时,得知她过世的消息,内心还有一些波澜。2017年5月,真正开始读她的自传作品,没...
