Eva Rutland
"Eva Rutland, author of more than 20 novels and winner of the 2000 Golden Pen Award for Lifetime Achievement, presens the timely and relevant story, first published in 1965, of her life in the years "before integration, before affirmative action---when segregation was the norm, discriniation was legally tolerated, and blacks were second-class citizens" (from the introduction).
What is it like to be the first black family in an all- white neighborhood or the only little black girl in your third-grade class? What happens when your husband enters a restaurant with his white colleagues and the waitress says, “I can’t serve you.” And what do you do when your daughter calls you an Uncle Tom? In her memoir, the late Eva Rutland’s traces the journey of a well-educated, middle-class black woman born and raised in the segregated South, who moves to California after the Second World War with her husband and four young children. It is an inside story of the African American Diaspora, told by an ordinary mother living through extraordinary times in America.
