As recalled in Honky , Dalton Conley’s childhood has all of the classic elements of growing up in America. But the fact that he was one of the few white boys in a mostly black and Puerto Rican neighborhood on Manhattan’s Lower East Side makes Dalton’s childhood unique.
At the age of three, he couldn’t understand why the infant daughter of the black separatists next door couldn’t be his sister, so he kidnapped her. By the time he was a teenager, he realized that not even a parent’s devotion could protect his best friend from a stray bullet. Years after the privilege of being white and middle class allowed Conley to leave the projects, his entertaining memoir allows us to see how race and class impact us all. Perfectly pitched and daringly original, Honky is that rare book that entertains even as it informs.
回忆录、揭露了美国纽约曼哈顿穷富、黑白、少数民族和主要白人之间的茅盾和不安。作者并非从白人的种族优越感制高点俯瞰种族歧视,反而是他在少数民族与黑人聚集的纽约市中心贫民窟内成为了一只茕茕孑立踽踽独行的“白鬼”(honky)。他的父母亲均为不得志的艺术家,一位小说家一位画家,财政紧张,在教育方面也存在失职的倾向,也不了解痛苦挣扎的作者心理。
评分So, is identity crisis a personal problem or a social phenomenon?
评分没想到看过的人这么少,目前看到第三章,作者父母的故事。从他本身出发,对处于黑人区的白人境况的描写,还是比较幽默易读的,但说的一些运动我们只怕不太了解,像是 flower box movement panty raids等,有意思
