Описание: This book explores a local iteration of a profound human experience: the transformation of agriculture. Focusing on small farm owners in North Carolina from the post-Civil War era to the post-Civil Rights era, it argues that they resisted changes to farming that did not square with their agrarian ideology. However, the antidemocratic character of the Jim Crow South weakened their resistance.

Описание: "Honest, exquisitely measured . . . inspiring in its reminder of the human spirit's capacity to endure."--The New York Times Book Review " An] astute study of family and place."--Washington Post Book World In this collection of autobiographical essays, Maryse Cond vividly evokes the relationships and events that gave her childhood meaning: discovering her parents' feelings of alienation; her first crush; a falling out with her best friend; the death of her beloved grandmother; her first encounter with racism. These gemlike vignettes capture the spirit of Cond 's fiction: haunting, powerful, poignant, and leavened with a streak of humor. Maryse Cond 's previous work includes the novels Windward Heights and Desirada, both available from Soho Press.
