About the book

Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is an autobiographical account of her childhood and adolescence in the American South. Angelou writes about family, racism, trauma, education and the gradual development of confidence and self-expression. Her lyrical style and emotional honesty transform personal experience into a powerful meditation on identity, resilience and the importance of finding one's own voice. Maya Angelou's autobiographical account of her childhood and early youth growing up in 1930's America, is an evocation of a black girl's struggle against her oppressors.
