摘要：brown girl dreaming is one of Woodson's (2014) finest novels. Written in lyrical prose, Woodson describes her own life growing up in both the North and the South during the changing country in midst of the Civil Rights Movement. Woodsen's word choice is careful and deliberate; she is able to convey vivid details about family, education and her growing understanding of racism as a young child. By the end of the story, you will be amazed that you have learned not only about Woodson's personal experiences, but also about the climate of America during Woodson's family's history through the 1970s.
