Brown Girl Dreaming
|
Book Summary:
The award-winning author of Locomotion and Feathers writes about growing up in South Carolina and New York. This memoir is told through poetry. Book Review: This is a look at 1960s and 1970s America, and readers without some background knowledge in Civil Rights issues or some small group discussion time for reflection may not appreciate the themes and insights this book offers. Some reflections about growing up and childhood ambitions may be better suited for adult readers, not because the content is inappropriate, but because some life experience and maturity make these reflections more relatable. This is not to suggest that middle school readers won't enjoy this book, but it's a title that might have more power through discussion about its messages. "Brown Girl Dreaming book quote." |
