Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
One womans journey to uncover her familys history and understand the ties that bind us to a particular place. Encompassing three centuries of manor lords and tenant farmers, Civil War heroes and renegade aunts, award-winning author Leila Philip tells the story of her ancestral Hudson Valley home, Talavera, and the mystery of her attachment to it. After her fathers death in 1992, Leila and her family struggled to find the means to keep their farm intact.

Newly republished with a folio of historic photographs and an epilogue that updates the story of the farm and the family to the present, A Family Place addresses the tensions between memory and recorded fact, inviting readers to take a new look at their own sense of home. Philip is an extremely gifted writer who doesnt skirt somber emotional notes. She has created a brave, eloquent, and beautifully constructed memoir of a remarkable place and the remarkable family that belongs to it. Chronogram Author Leila Philip presents a tribute to her familys long and illustrious history, revealing a piece of Americana that is hard to replicate. A Family Place is recommended reading for anyone who wants to see the evolution of the American family first hand.

Publishers Weekly an unpretentious, subtly shaded story of the importance of understanding the ghosts and heroes that reside in every ancestral home. New York Times An exquisite rendering of a Hudson Valley family farm, as detailed and colored as a Persian miniature. Philips family history is alarmingly transporting, and her sense of place so rich you can taste it. Kirkus Reviews(starred review) Riveting one of the most finely written family histories available.

Down the Up Staircase
Author: Bruce D. Haynes
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231543417
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Down the Up Staircase tells the story of one Harlem family across three generations, connecting its journey to the historical and social forces that transformed Harlem over the past century. Bruce D. Haynes and Syma Solovitch capture the tides of change that pushed blacks forward through the twentieth century—the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance, the early civil rights victories, the Black Power and Black Arts movements—as well as the many forces that ravaged black communities, including Haynes's own. As an authority on race and urban communities, Haynes brings unique sociological insights to the American mobility saga and the tenuous nature of status and success among the black middle class. In many ways, Haynes's family defied the odds. All four great-grandparents on his father's side owned land in the South as early as 1880. His grandfather, George Edmund Haynes, was the founder of the National Urban League and a protégé of eminent black sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois; his grandmother, Elizabeth Ross Haynes, was a noted children's author of the Harlem Renaissance and a prominent social scientist. Yet these early advances and gains provided little anchor to the succeeding generations. This story is told against the backdrop of a crumbling three-story brownstone in Sugar Hill that once hosted Harlem Renaissance elites and later became an embodiment of the family's rise and demise. Down the Up Staircase is a stirring portrait of this family, each generation walking a tightrope, one misstep from free fall.
