| Cane and Able, by Southern writer Stephen Cheek captures the era of the late 1950's in Mississippi. He explores a time when to be black was to be "colored" and to be white was supreme, a time when the color of a person's skin could mean the difference between life and death, wrongness and fairness, or poverty and wealth. Cheek's book shares the story of how for one family in rural Mississippi the color of a man's skin didn't matter. In his 396-page novel, he depicts the true love and devotion that existed between many white and black families in a time that was particularly difficult. Cheek narrates his story through a farmer's twelve-year-old son named Justin Cane |
