Maya Angelou - Reúnam-se em Meu Nome

In Gather in My Name (1974), Maya Angelou continues the autobiographical cycle begun in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

On the threshold between adolescence and adulthood—drawn by the bright lights of Chicago's stage, the underworld of San Francisco, and returning to the Arkansas of her childhood, amid odd jobs and bitter setbacks—she "walked to the edge of the precipice and saw it all." An account of a daily struggle as a mother and a Black woman in the postwar period, it focuses on the search for a place in the world and the courage required to survive in a hostile society.
