A rare first-person account of life in the twentieth-century South, He Included Me weaves together the story of a black family-eight children reared in rural Alabama, their mother a schoolteacher, their father a minister-and the emerging self-portrait of a woman determined, like her parents, to look ahead. Sarah Rice recalls her mother's hymn of thanks-"He Included Me"-when God showed her a way to feed her family, and hears again her mother's quiet words, "It's no disgrace to work. It's an honor to make an honest dollar," spoken when her children were embarrassed that she took in white people's laundry. Rice speaks, finally, of the determination, faith, and pride that carried her through life. In a document that spans more than three-quarters of the twentieth century, He Included Me presents the voice of a single woman whose life was rich in complexity, deep in suffering and joy; yet it also speaks for the many black women who have worked and struggled in the rural South and always looked ahead.

Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. In homespun words, strong-minded Rice, born in 1909 in rural Alabama, bears witness to her hard life as a black woman....Rice's comments on social and racial issues, especially when based directly on her experiences as an employee of white families, are instructive; sensitive yet objective, she proves able to reckon with differences, not just take sides. She seems always to say exactly what she means. With the aid of Westling, Rice makes a welcome contribution to the informal history of black Americans. [PW]
