Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the New York Times contributing opinion writer and awardwinning author of Reading While Black, a riveting intergenerational account of his familys search for home and hopePowerful . . . McCaulley uses examples of his own familys stories of survival over time to remind readers that some paths to the promised land have detours along the way.The RootA PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEARFor much of his life, Esau McCaulley was taught to see himself as an exception: someone who, through hard work, faith, and determination, overcame childhood poverty, antiBlack racism, and an absent father to earn a job as a university professor and a life in the middle class.But that narrative was called into question one night, when McCaulley answered the phone and learned that his fatherwhose absence defined his upbringingdied in a car crash. McCaulley was being asked to deliver his fathers eulogy, to make sense of his complicated legacy in a country that only accepts Black men on the condition that they are exceptional, hardworking, perfect.The resulting effort sent McCaulley back through his family history, seeking to understand the community that shaped him. In these pages, we meet his greatgrandmother Sophia, a tenant farmer born with the gift of prophecy who scraped together a life in Jim Crow Alabama; his mother, Laurie, who raised four kids alone in an era when single Black mothers were demonized as welfare queens; and a cast of family, friends, and neighbors who won small victories in a world built to swallow Black lives. With profound honesty and compassion, he raises questions that implicate us all: What does each persons struggle to build a life teach us about what we owe each other? About what it means to be human?How Far to the Promised Land is a thrilling and tender epic about being Black in America. Its a book that questions our toosimple narratives about poverty and upward mobility; a book in which the people normally written out of the American Dream are given voice.
