E. B. Du Bois, once wrote about the Problem of race in America, and what he called "Double Consciousness," a sensitivity that every African American possesses in order to survive. Since childhood, Ailey Pearl Garfield has understood Du Bois's words all too well. Bearing the names of two formidable Black Americans--the revered choreographer Alvin Ailey and her great grandmother Pearl, the descendant of enslaved Georgians and tenant farmers--Ailey carries Du Bois's Problem on her shoulders. Ailey is reared in the north in the City but spends summers in the small Georgia town of Chicasetta, where her mother's family has lived since their ancestors arrived from Africa in bondage. From an early age, Ailey fights a battle for belonging that's made all the more difficult by a hovering trauma, as well as the whispers of women--her mother, Belle, her sister, Lydia, and a maternal line reaching back two centuries--that urge Ailey to succeed in their stead. To come to terms with her own identity, Ailey embarks on a journey through her family's past, uncovering the shocking tales of generations of ancestors--Indigenous, Black, and white--in the deep South. In doing so Ailey must learn to embrace her full heritage, a legacy of oppression and resistance, bondage and independence, cruelty and resilience that is the story--and the song--of America itself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American families $z Georgia $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012631.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023450.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015707.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20221008011656.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014911.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220624010315.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010809.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010228.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220309010128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95DC7FAA9F7611ECBC2E855C59ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
