“Affecting, beautifully written and morally complex…The heart of the memoir is Gates’ portrait of his family, and its placement in a black society whose strength, richness and self-confidence thrived in the darkness of segregation.”–Richard Eder, The Los Angeles Times “[Colored People] may well become a classic of American memoir.”–The Boston Globe From the Trade Paperback edition., “Affecting, beautifully written and morally complex…The heart of the memoir is Gates’ portrait of his family, and its placement in a black society whose strength, richness and self-confidence thrived in the darkness of segregation.”–Richard Eder, The Los Angeles Times “[Colored People] may well become a classic of American memoir.”–The Boston Globe

Synopsis
In a coming-of-age story as enchantingly vivid and ribald as anything Mark Twain or Zora Neale Hurston, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., recounts his childhood in the mill town of Piedmont, West Virginia, in the 1950s and 1960s and ushers readers into a gossip, of lye-and-mashed-potato “processes,” and of slyly stubborn resistance to the indignities of segregation. A winner of the Chicago Tribune ‘s Heartland Award and the Lillian Smith Prize, Colored People is a pungent and poignant masterpiece of recollection, a work that extends and deepens our sense of African American history even as it entrances us with its bravura storytelling
