Paperback. Etat : New. Main - Canons. When Emmett Till was murdered aged fourteen for allegedly whistling at a white woman, photographs of his destroyed face became a flashpoint in the civil rights movement. A decade earlier Emmett's father, Louis, had also been killed - court-martialled and hanged. Though the circumstances could hardly have been more different, behind both deaths stood the same crime, of being black.In Writing to Save a Life, John Edgar Wideman, born the same year as Emmett Till, investigates the tragic fates of father and son. Mixing research, memoir and imagination, this book is an essential commentary on racism in America - illuminating, humane and profound. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9781786893727

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The murder of Emmett Till is a familiar story, it has become American legend. But one twist in the Till story is rarely mentioned: just ten years earlier, Louis Till, Emmett's father, was executed by the army. In 1955, when both boys were fourteen years old, Wideman saw the horrific photograph of dead Emmett's battered face. Decades later, upon discovering that Louis had been court-martialled and hanged, he was impelled to investigate the intertwined fates of father and son.In Writing to Save a Life, Wideman brings extraordinary insight and intimacy to this devastating story. Part exploration and part meditation, it is a conversation between generations, the living and the dead.
