Maya Angelou - Sei Porque Canta o Pássaro na Gaiola

A magnificent memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969) is a poetic journey of liberation and a glorious flutter of wings in an oppressive world.

This inspiring account of the author’s childhood and youth in the 1930s and 1940s offers us the perspective of an extraordinary child confronting the inexplicable violence of the adult world and the cruelty of racism, in a search for dignity during difficult times. From rural Arkansas to the cities of California, Maya Angelou paints a touching portrait of the African American community in the United States during segregation, and of a consciousness that, unable to resign itself, awakens toward emancipation. An American classic that has marked generations and remains as relevant as ever.
