In 1959 my mother became ill from TB and we were left in the care of my father and grandmother. The ISPCC deemed my father an unfit parent to look after us and as a result, my sisters and I were sentenced to 14 years in Pembroke Alms Industrial School where we were placed in the care of the Sisters of Mercy. While there, my sisters and I were subjected to horrendous, almost unimaginable cruelty and abuse, both physically and mentally, the scars of which I still feel today

Cane
Author: Jean Toomer
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 1513276050
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
A series of vignettes exploring African American life as it relates to social, political and family dynamics. For many, Cane is considered a literary masterpiece from visionary writer, Jean Toomer. He presents a diverse collection of tales with distinct and vibrant characters who populate a world that’s all too familiar. HEADLINE: Jean Toomer delivers a vivid depiction of America in the early twentieth century that centers the Black experience, consisting of family, religion, romance and race. It’s a detailed work of fiction that’s closely rooted in reality. A collection of disparate stories illustrating the challenges and motivations of Black people in the United States. The author uses poetry and imagery to create a world that’s recognizable but also unique. In “Seventh Street,” the narrative follows the happenings of a historic neighborhood with links to World War I and Prohibition. There’s also “Blood Burning Moon," which highlights a volatile love triangle that leads to tragic results. It’s an insightful read that introduces outsiders to a different point of view. Jean Toomer’s Cane is highly revered for its unique structure and compelling storytelling. It presents a brilliant contrast of rural and urban living, while acknowledging the racial disparities of both. This modern classic was crucial in establishing and cementing Toomer’s literary legacy. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Cane is both modern and readable.
