All God’s Children Need Traveling Shoes: An Autobiography
Author: Maya Angelou Category: Autobiographies, Biographies and Non-Fiction, Culture and Heritage, Diversity and Inclusion, High School and (Young) Adult, Middle School, Moving House and Relocation, Traveling, Upper Elementary, Writing and Literature Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group Country: United States, Ghana, African continent, West Africa Language: English Reading Age: High School and (Young) Adult, Middle School, Upper Elementary More DetailsIn 1962 the poet, musician, and performer Maya Angelou claimed another piece of her identity by moving to Ghana, joining a community of “Revolutionist Returnees” inspired by the promise of pan-Africanism. All God’s Children Need Walking Shoes is her lyrical and acutely perceptive exploration of what it means to be an African American on the mother continent, where color no longer matters but where American-ness keeps asserting itself in ways both puzzling and heartbreaking. As it builds on the personal narrative of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Gather Together in My Name, this book confirms Maya Angelou’s stature as one of the most gifted autobiographers of our time.
