蜜尔德瑞的成长过程中,虽也曾遭受歧视的待遇(例如使用白人抛弃的破烂教科书,即是一例),不过大致来说来, 她的童年还是充满亲人的爱。因此她常批评那些将黑人社区,千篇一律描写成脏乱贫民窟的小说;另一方面她也觉得奇怪,为何历史书中没有关于黑人勇敢反抗压迫及为争取尊严而战的记载。因此,蜜尔德瑞决定写作,叙述黑人勇敢地面对困难的故事。她的第一本书《森林之歌》(Song of the Trees),曾赢得“种族书籍奖”中非裔美籍类 的奖项,及《纽约时报》颁发的1975年“年度风云书刊”奖。而她的...

2017.12.2 当时写的书评 挺棒的。是sc上一届和acsi好几年前的lit text。 结局很不错。有美好的力量依然在,也有现实的令人惋惜心痛的后果。 很敬佩既privileged又很关心the discriminated并为他们打抱不平的人。
