Summary:
Dawson
, a black manual laborer who learned to read at age 98, has written a memoir that stands apart from other end-of-the-century texts and from the history generally recorded in textbooks--but is essential to an accurate understanding of this century. The product of a collaboration between
Dawson
and high school history teacher Glaubman, the book juxtaposes significant events of the century with
Dawson
's personal experiences. Although he endured hardship,
Dawson
's positive philosophy sustained him to a ripe old age.
Genre:
Autobiographies.
