Truth and Reconciliation --Epilogue --Postscript --Acknowledgments --Notes --Bibliography --IndexDavid Houze was twenty-six and living in a single room occupancy hotel in Atlanta when he discovered that three little girls in an old photo he'd seen years earlier were actually his sisters. The girls had been left behind in South Africa when Houze and his mother fled the country in 1966, at the height of apartheid, to start a new life in Meridian, Mississippi, with Houze's American father. This revelation triggers a journey of self-discovery and reconnection that ranges from the shores of South Africa to the dirt roads of Mississippi-and back. Gripping, vivid, and poignant, this deeply personal narrative uses the unraveling mystery of Houze's family and his quest for identity as a prism through which to view the tumultuous events of the civil rights movement in Mississippi and the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa. Twilight People is a stirring memoir that grapples with issues of family, love, abandonment, and ultimately, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is also a spellbinding detective story-steeped in racial politics and the troubled history of two continents-of one man's search for the truth behind the enigmas of his, and his mother's, lives.African AmericansBiographyAfrican AmericansCivil rightsSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryCivil rights movementsSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryApartheidSouth AfricaBrothers and sistersSouthern StatesRace relationsSouth AfricaRace relationsElectronic books.African AmericansAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryCivil rights movementsHistoryApartheidBrothers and sisters.916.804/6508996073Houze David1965-1055990MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450129303321Twilight people2489999UNINA01080nam a2200277 i 4500991000522019707536040317s2003 it 000 0 ita d8846443594b12629686-39ule_instDUSS - Diploma Universitario in Servizio Socialeita364.1523Costanzo, Simonetta482237Famiglie di sangue :analisi dei reati in famiglia /Simonetta Costanzo ; presentazione di Gian Carlo Nivoli ; appendice di Antonio De VitaMilano :F.
