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 It is only in her teens that Marguerite emerges from the private world of muteness into which she has withdrawn and confronts the prejudice around her.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

評分前一陣子,微博上的好友們一直在推廣一本新的譯作——瑪雅•安吉洛的《我知道籠中鳥為何歌唱》(於霄、王笑紅譯)。我也沒太在意,至於是否順手轉瞭一下也忘瞭。過瞭些時候,一天早上,師姐從傢裏迴來,塞給我一本書,譯者的贈書,正是這本《我知道籠中鳥為何歌唱》。書的譯...
評分這本書是我與瑪雅·安吉洛的第一次相逢,還好,並不是太晚。黑人女性作傢自傳題材的作品,這個定語給這本書帶上瞭唬人的帽子,讓人誤以為這是一本充滿苦難的、壓抑的文學作品。但實際上,本作頗有四兩撥韆斤的巧勁,所有苦難的瞬間,所有壓抑的片段,都被作者輕盈的文字帶過,...
評分In an exquisite and poetic way, Maya shared life stories of a Black girl growing up, from a submissive little sweet pie whose whole world was Bailey and Momma to an independent woman with her own values and ambitions. Once again I’m astonished by the stron...
