Native Guard

Autor: Natasha Trethewey

Žánr: Cizojazyčná literatura > English literature > Fiction and Literature > Contemporary Fiction

Through elegiac verse that honors her mother and tells of her own fraught childhood, Natasha Trethewey confronts the racial legacy of her native Deep South -- where one of the first black regiments, the Louisiana Native Guards, was called into service during the Civil War. Trethewey's resonant and beguiling collection is a haunting conversation between personal experience and national history.
