The book Telling Memories was listed in Kathryn Stockett's comments at the end of the novel The Help. Instead of being about the lives of black domestics, Telling Memories focused on the lives of female slaves during and shortly after slavery. Some of the slaves seemed to carefully answer the interviewers' questions and only a few seemed very honest about what their lives were like. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In Telling Memories Among Southern Women, Susan Tucker presents a revealing collection of oral-history narratives that explore the complex, sometimes enigmatic bond between black female domestic workers and their white employers from the turn of the twentieth century to the civil rights revolution of the 1960s. Based on interviews with forty-two women of both races from the Deep South, these narratives express the full range of human emotions and successfully convey the ties that united?and the tensions and conflicts that separated?these two mutually dependent groups of women.
