5,0 sur 5 étoiles Well Written and Very Interesting
Formater: BrochéAchat vérifiéI really loved this book. It is very well written and interesting. It takes a bit of adjusting on the reader's part because it deals with roughly 50 chapters and each is about a different person There is a continuing story about the narrator's family but mainly it deals with Black people who were historical characters This is fiction but the people are real. They were so interesting that I had to Google many of them and was delighted to find YouTube entries that showed some of them singing and dancing. It points out that they had difficult lives due to racism in America. I learned so much. I read this for my book club and we all enjoyed the book and our discussion.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles WOW!
Formater: Format KindleAchat vérifiéThank You, Ms. Randall! (3x) I not only read this book and loved this book, I also ate this book! I chewed each page very s-l-o-w-l-y, suckling the juices (sometimes stopping for days to Google / follow trails of archival photographs, written excerpts and, yes, even YouTube videos) from each chapter and savoring the vibrant history that my folks were rocking long before I was twinkle in my parents eyes! I didn't know any of this at 71, but after devouring this lovely book, I know it now! Bravo....and....Thanks!

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Black Bottom Saints explores Detroit's Golden Age
Formater: ReliéAchat vérifiéBlack Bottom Saints, a retelling of the glory days of Detroit, is a step back to when Motor City – and Motown – were not just household words but the powerhouses of the nation’s auto and music industries.
Detroit-born author Alice Randall, author of Rebel Yell and the smash country hit “An American Girl” recorded by Patricia Yearwood, presents a cast of characters – some famous and some not – who helped create Detroit’s golden age.
At the heart of the novel is Ziggy Johnson, based upon Joseph “Ziggy” Johnson who wrote articles for the Michigan Chronicle and founded the Ziggy Johnson School of the Theatre and who inspired Randall to become a writer. The fictional Johnson lies dying in the hospital as tells the stories – often heroic and always poignant – of the people who built Detroit. Randall also ends each chapter with a drink recipe honoring each Black Bottom Saint. Randall honors such luminaries as Robert Hayden, Joe Louis, Ethel Waters, Tallulah Bankhead, Martin Luther King Jr., Della Reese, Nat King Cole and Sammy Davis Jr.
It wasn’t just the famous who created Detroit’s golden age, though.
“The factory folk – the breadwinners – drove the Black City. Black Detroit knew this. We gave the factory folk who worked in the automobile plants their proper respect. We loved those men who did that shift work that meant eight out of ten Black families in Detroit owned the home they lived in and could afford to go out to a club to hear live music any night they chose. Our breadwinners built this city. We remember when River Rouge ran twenty-four seven.”
However, that all started to change in the late sixties as told in the chapter on Ted Rhodes.
“It is 1968. Father’s Day is coming soon. And there will be a Youth Colossal with or without me. But it won’t be in Detroit. The Gathering has been blown up. Twelfth Street has been burned down. Paradise Valley has been forgotten. Idlewild has been fatally wounded by integration and television. One performance seen by millions eclipses live shows. Little German Beetles and Japanese Bluebirds are popping up all over the road. They do not need hundreds of thousands of us. We were needed in Detroit. This is not Detroit. Detroit is yesterday. Detroit is tomorrow. Detroit will come again.”
That ending note of resilience may well be prophetic. Detroit is rebuilding. Detroit is being rediscovered. It’s writers and artists like Ziggy – and Randall – who will lead Detroit’s next renaissance.

4,0 sur 5 étoiles Great read
Formater: Format KindleAchat vérifiéThis was a fantastic book. Great sample of artistic prose and research was well done. The voices were unique and the drink recipes were tasty. This reminded me a lot of Zora Neal-Hurston.
