Synopsis

In this spell-binding oral history Edith Hudley, an African-American grandmother, born poor in rural Texas in the heyday of the Ku Klux Klan, is not only recollecting her own long life, but providing a unique meditation on human development. Her narration is interwoven with commentary by two white academics who emphasise its relevance to the developmental needs of children of any minority group.
