商品簡介
Despite the seemingly endless obstacles placed in their paths for centuries, African Americans have somehow survived, even in a polarized country, while bravely confronting white prejudice, racial injustice, and discrimination. In a volume of ten stories, Earnest Bracey shares insight into the lives of diverse characters often uplifted by rhythm and blues music while facing terrible domestic situations, death, and racism in a harsh and complex world. David Moore, the Reverend Anthony Jones, and Randall Smith are all battling internal demons when they are committed to the same mental hospital and form an alliance. While growing up in Louisiana, Jason Little is labeled a sissy by the neighborhood Black boys. But what no one knows is that he has gifted fingers. Betty Brown has the voice of an angel. As she transforms into a fabulous gospel singer, Betty must harbor a horrifying secret that ultimately robs her of her voice. The Big Black Three and Other Short Stories is a collection of candid, sometimes haunting tales that address the suffering, struggles, and other deprivations of African Americans.
