View of history through black, lesbian eyes July 27, 2010
Berit
I found this book very well-written and engaging in that it kept my attention. It brought up some historical aspects I had previously been unaware of, and a perspective on an era I had not encountered before. So it was enlightening and absorbing reading. I highly recommend it.

What it was Like to be a Black Lesbian During the McCarthy Era April 24, 2009
Bonnie Brody (Fairbanks, Alaska)
This memoir is of a black lesbian coming of age during the McCarthy era. Idealism, drugs, and trying to connect with others from the 'gay-girl' community are major themes. The book conveys the difficulty of being a minority - black, female and lesbian - and the impenetrable boundaries that are everywhere.
Audre Lorde also writes about her close relationships which appeared to be without substantive intimacy. Alcohol, drugs and mental illness often provided barriers to keep the sense of 'other' always in the forefront.
This is a fascinating book and an essential read for anyone interested in what it was like to be a minority during the McCarthy era.
Thank You December 16, 2008

Amazon is a life saver. I needed this book in two days, after searching every barnes & noble and borders I could think of I went to amazon for help. There express one day shipping was a life saver. The shipping was costly but i learned my lesson for waiting until the last minute to get a book on my english syllabus. THANK YOU AMAZON for saving me in a crunch. I will diffently buy future books from your website =]
