For the disadvantaged, sometimes the greatest source of power is language. The naming of names, the brandishing of labels, can unify or divide, create an "us" or a "them." This enduring, often painful truth is at the heart of A. J. Verdelle s wise, poignant debut. Twenty years after its initial publication, "The Good Negress "continues to be an important part of the literary canon, as relevant and necessary as ever. Set in 1960s Detroit, "The Good Negress" focuses on young Denise Palms, who moves to Detroit to reunite with her mother, new stepfather, and two older brothers. Raised mostly by her grandmother in rural Virginia, Denise s role in Detroit is to cook, clean, go to school, and take care of her mother s baby when it comes. But an idealistic, demanding teacher opens Denise s eyes to a future she s never considered, and when the two worlds begin to clash, Denise is pulled between education and family, duty and ambition. The destinies of her mother and brothers--one resigned to his menial job, the other to a life of crime--foretell the limits of her own future, and Denise must decide if she will determine her own way forward. Winner of the Harold D. Vursell Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters A PEN/Faulkner Finalist A Quality Paperback Book Club Selection"
