Summary: Well done! Please meet the young adult, Maya Angelou . . .
Review: It's been 15+ years since I've read anything by Maya Angelou and that was "I know why the caged bird sings." "Singin' and "Swingin'" let's you meet the young adult(21+)Maya. What a fascinating read! Maya has helped me understand better her, my mother's and aunt's generation. Thank you.

Summary: Candid autobiography.
Review: Maya Angelou tells us without restraint how she crawled out of the hell of her youth years to become a star dancer.
Vivid decription of the situation of the African Americans and their mentality in the middle of last century.
Evocative language, sharp, intelligent and fluent.
A book to recommend.

Summary: great follow up, but...
Review: this third installment of angelou's sutobiography is just as well written and interesting as her first two. however, i have become completely baffled with ine aspect of the novel. in the first two books, her son's name was guy. suddenly, in "singin and swingin..." her son is referred to as clyde! if anyone knows why this is so, please share your explanation. it would be highly appreciated! and whatever his name is, still a good read.
