Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"So much of this book touches on the events of my own life. The friends we made protesting that war--'Angry Arts, ' The Deux Megots poets' cafe--might be with us still, the portraits are so vivid. This chronicle reads like an adventure story told with modesty and feeling." --Grace Paley

"A poet, a lesbian, a radical, Susan Sherman's life was shaped by the great sweep of change that was the 60s. In "America's Child," in beautifully crafted language, she connects us all to her struggle to find her place in a chaotic decade. Her memoir is a moving, sensitive, and insightful look at both a remarkable time and a woman growing into wisdom." --Carol Polcovar

""America's Child" is not only a chronicle of the sixties, it's a book of interior and exterior voyages, a book of transformations, a courageous, honest and illuminating book."-Claribel Alegria"

Reseña del editor

From the cultural renaissance of the late 50s, through the sexual revolution, to political activism that starts with world issues and ends with struggles around sexism and homophobia, America's Child is simultaueously cultural history, social discourse, and a deeply personal narrative.
