Maya Angelou I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Themes and Motifs Racism and Segregation Displacement Survivors Resistance to Racism Strong Black Women Love of literature Names and Naming

Maya Angelou I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Quote If growing up is painful for the Southern Black girl, being aware of her displacement is the rust on the razor that threatens the throat. It is an unnecessary insult.

Maya Angelou I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Quote If Bailey was talking so fast he forgot to stutter, he forgot to scratch his head and clean his fingernails with his teeth. He was away in a mystery, locked in the enigma that young Southern Black boys start to unravel, start to try to unravel, from seven years old to death. The humorless puzzle of inequality and hate.

Maya Angelou I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings Quote The Black female is assaulted in her tender years by all those common forces of nature at the same time that she is caught in the tripartite crossfire of masculine prejudice, white illogical hate and Black lack of power. The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerence.
