Finding Respite And Encouragement First In The Simple Illusions Of Magic, Which Provide Valuable Insights Into Surviving In The White Man'S World, Then In Jazz, In Which A Saxophone Becomes A Ticket To New York City, And, Finally, In Higher Education, He Struggles To Break Free Of His Family'S Violent History And From The Land That Was For So Long Their Salvation.Reminiscent Of Richard Wright'S Black Boy And Maya Angelou'S I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, Coming Up Down Home Is An Evocative Personal Odyssey That Mirrors This Country'S Larger Struggle With Racism And Violence That Culminated In The Marches And Boycotts Of The Early 1960S.
