'In the first decade of the twentieth century, it was not a good time to be born black, or woman, in America.'

So begins this stunning portrait of Vivian Baxter Johnson: the first black woman officer in the Merchant Marines, purveyor of a gambling business and rooming house, and mother to Maya Angelou, beloved and bestselling author I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS.

'A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman' BARACK OBAMA

Anyone who's read the classic, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, knows Maya Angelou was raised by her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou details what brought her mother to send her away and unearths the well of emotions Angelou experienced long afterward as a result. While Angelou's six autobiographies tell of her out in the world, influencing and learning from statesmen and cultural icons, Mom & Me & Mom shares the intimate, emotional story about her own family.

'She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds' OPRAH WINFREY

'She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate' TONI MORRISON

The book fairies broght me here

Recensito in Italia il 4 luglio 2017

Acquisto verificato

I found this book in London, in the tube while I was coming down the stairs, so I can happily say that I had the chance to read it because of the book fairies and yes, "I do believe in Book Fairies".
I would recommend this book to anyone who has had or has a difficult relationship with their moms. The book is so touching, I love how Maya Angelous writes about her relationship with her mum and how I got inspired and touched by this book.
You all defenetely should read it

Autobiografia eccezionale di una donna eccezionale

Recensito in Italia il 30 aprile 2017

Acquisto verificato

Possedere un libro così è un valore che non ha prezzo.
Testimonianza di un rapporto madre-figlia meraviglioso e intenso. Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti.
E leggerlo in lingua originale è d'obbligo, come quasi tutti i libri in inglese. La traduzione italiana (come al solito) storpierebbe il senso e la magia di un testo studiato nei minimi dettagli per trasmettere un tono e un carattere forte e reale, proprio del contesto e del mondo americano dell'epoca.

Filled with Love and Pride

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 11 aprile 2013

Acquisto verificato

I first heard about Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou from an interview at the back of Time Magazine called "10 Questions." I'd just finished an autobiography by Valerie Harper, I read something similiar before that, and I wasn't in the market for another memoir. However, after reading those ten simple questions in Time, I decided to buy the Kindle version of Mom & Me & Mom anyway.

The book begins with the earliest part of Angelou's life and how she and her brother, Bailey, had been sent to live with their maternal grandmother. Their mother, Vivian Baxter, thought it would be a better environment for them. As a result, when it was time for them to leave the racially charged south as young adults a few years later and return to San Francisco to live with Vivian again, both Maya and Bailey held reservations...and a certain amount of resentment...toward Vivian for sending them away in the first place.

These strong emotions follow the move back to San Francisco. And in this book Maya Angelou discusses the difficulties Vivian Baxter had in trying to win the trust...and respect...of her two children. Bailey seemed to take it better, where Maya missed her grandmother and didn't even want to call Vivian "Mother." It's all explained well, and it portrays Vivian as a strong, determined woman, with an intrinsic brand of wisdom her daughter, Maya, seems to have inherited from her. And while I was reading I kept wondering why I didn't dislike this woman, Vivian, who had sent her two children away to live with their grandmother more than I did, and I think that's because this story is told in a way that shows no one is perfect and we all do the best with what we have. Vivian Baxter did this with her head held high, diamonds in her ears, and a pistol in her purse.

At one point in the book, Angelou discusses being raped at a very young age. Of course I'd read about this before and it wasn't a big surprise. But there are surprises in the book, and things I didn't know about Angelou I won't give away now as spoilers for those who have not read it yet. In a general sense, as the book moves forward and we see Maya learning more about Vivian Baxter, each experience Maya has is centered around Vivian's grand style, her pragmatism, and her ability to love as deeply as a mother can love.

Toward the middle of the book, we see Maya growing into a woman, and dealing with a few of the realities we all face during those early years. Again, no spoilers, however, I found myself liking Vivian Baxter even more during several events that could have altered the course of Maya Angelou's entire life if it had not been for Vivian's Baxter's support. And yet, at the same time, there was nothing simple about Vivian Baxter at all. And although Angelou never really gets into this in any details, Vivian had a full life of her own, and was loved by both men and women. But never once controlled by anyone.

One of the things I've always enjoyed about Maya Angelou's books is her ability to wave that proverbial magic wand and turn a pumpkin into a golden carriage, so to speak. She takes ordinary situations, and comments, and turns them into exercises in wisdom in a way that's so poetic you wind up rereading them as they come up in the book. There's one section in the book where Maya is dealing with a new career, being a single mother, and trying to be as independent as possible given her circumstances. She's overwhelmed to the point of absolute panic, and it's as frightening to read as it must have been to go through at the time. Yet in the end, she leaves us with one simple, basic word that seems to make everything okay again: gratitude.

Although the difficulties of growing up African American during a period when racial tensions were high, to put it mildly, did come up, I never once found this book focusing on race. It's mentioned on occasion, and then it's time to move forward. At one point Angelou did mention how difficult it was to be a single mother. She was working two jobs at that time, and balancing what little time she did have with her son. It all came to a climax after she'd read an article in a magazine while sitting in a doctor's office one day. Angelou's son had serious allergies and the article talked about how allergies subside when the children get more attention. This infuriated her for several reasons, mostly because she didn't have the luxury of spending more time with her son. And once again, Vivian Baxter came to her side, gave her support, and turned things around with a few simple words and a very generous loan.

I would recommend this book to anyone without thinking twice. I'm giving it five stars because there's no place to click where I can give it ten. It's the kind of book that would be a great read if you have the time to do in one sitting. And if you don't, I suggest reading it before you go to sleep at night because it's the kind of book that makes you feel better about yourself when you wake up in the morning.

If you don't believe me, I suggest you read the free excerpt on Amazon before you go to bed tonight, which is what I did before I made the purchase.

' You Can Always Come Home;' A Beautiful Read

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 5 aprile 2013

Acquisto verificato

Maya Angelou holds a very special place in my heart, for it was she who 20 years ago on the day Bill Clinton was inaugurated President, reading her "Inaugural Poem," acknowledged me as no one ever had from any Inaugural podium: "The Gay, the...," putting me before "the Straight," before "the Preacher." I recall exactly where I was as my eyes flooded just as they flooded this past Inaugural day when President Obama uttered, after Seneca Falls and Selma, "Stonewall."
"I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings" is a book I have read at least three times, a book that feels so right to be reading upon a re-reading of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." So when 85-year-old Maya Angelou was interviewed on the NewsHour, talking about this new book, I ordered it immediately and began to read it as soon as the UPS delivery guy was back in his truck--or nearly that quickly.
It's a beautiful little book with a cover that is just so perfect for the direct, simple narrative about a daughter's relationship with a mother she never knew until she was thirteen. And I treated myself to a Friday afternoon of cover-to-cover pleasure.
Ms. Angelou's mother was, in the vernacular of a few people I know, "a piece of work." A gambler who spent time in jail and who actually owned a gambling operation up in Nome, Alaska, as well as what she had in San Francisco: "She gave me a key to her money closet, where she kept thousands of dollars and cases of liquor." Some liquor comes up missing. But I won't tell you why young Maya took it. You'll have to read the book to find that out.
I am one of the older gay men who, denying that reality, was deceptive and married and became a parent, thinking that not only could I change my sexual desires but could be a good parent, that parenting would not be difficult. How delusional I was. So when the author of this book writes about her mother's parenting, about the fright parents often have and the thoughtless reactions we have to it, I can and do empathize as, obviously, does Ms. Angelou. Parents make mistake, sometimes, like me, far far too many.
The book is filled with surprises, things I'd not known before about this gifted poet and writer of prose, and I grew to really like her mother as the writer grew to love Vivian Baxter. Let me quote this when Vivian's daughter decides to leave home to create one for herself as well as the little surprise that awaits you, the reader: "All right, you go, but remember this: When you cross my doorstep, you have already been raised. With what you have learned from your Grandmother Henderson in Arkansas and what you have learned from me, you know the difference between right and wrong. Do right. Don't let anybody raise you from the way you have been raised. Know you will always have to make adaptions, in love relationships, in friends, in society, in work, but don't let anybody change your mind. And then remember this: You can always come home."
And that gave Ms. Angelou permission to take "life by the lapels."
This is such a sweet, sweet book. My adult daughters' mother died in 2009--very, very sadly missed by them and so many other people her gentleness touched--and so this book is the Mother's Day gift each will receive nwzr month. Thank you, Maya Angelou. You are so cherished.

”Her love and support encouraged me to dare to live my life with pizazz.”

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 giugno 2017

Acquisto verificato

”This book has been written to examine some of the ways love heals and helps a person to climb impossible heights and rise from immeasurable depths.”

Two months ago, I read Maya Angelou’s “Letter to My Daughter” – the first of Angelou’s books I read. This morning, I read “Mom & Me & Mom” which was delightful, wonderful, sometimes sad, sometimes not, but throughout has that same lovely tone that I found in “Letter to My Daughter.” I’d read poems of hers before, seen her speak, although not in person, but there’s something about her that just reaches inside your soul and tugs on it while reading, or listening, to her words. Someday, I will get an audio copy of this to listen to, I suspect just hearing her distinctive voice read these words would add another level of impact.

”Suppose I really am going to become somebody, imagine.”

Mothers and Daughters. In Maya’s case, she barely knew her mother, Vivian Baxter, before she was shipped off to live with her paternal grandmother, Annie Henderson, along with her brother Bailey. Bailey was five years old to Maya’s three. Babies, put on a train with notes attached to them.

”I was three and Bailey was five when we arrived in Stamps, Arkansas. We had identification tags on our arms and no adult supervision. “

It would take a while for them to re-establish a place for her mother in Maya’s life, and primarily in her heart. For a long time, she called her Lady, which made me smile, a name my daughter calls me now and then. When she was first re-entering that space, with a new stepfather in the picture, their relationship was cautious, tentative, slowly growing over the years – but growing.

“She had my back, supported me. This is the role of the mother, and in that visit I really saw clearly, and for the first time, why a mother is really important. Not just because she feeds and also loves and cuddles and even mollycoddles a child, but because in an interesting and maybe an eerie and unworldly way, she stands in the gap. She stands between the unknown and the known.”

There are some of the stories of her life that are included in her “Letter to My Daughter,” but there is sometimes comfort in that, much like once-again hearing some of my father’s favourite flying stories when he had a new, and willing, audience. There’s joy in hearing wisdom repeated, tales that your heart takes and translates into your life, your language, your being. I loved reading about the progression of their relationship, Maya and her mother, Vivien, when all those doubts had faded away, when proof of love was no longer required or questioned, and most of all I loved seeing more of her heart and its wisdom.

”Her love and support encouraged me to dare to live my life with pizazz.”

Highly Recommended
