| ♥♥♥♥♥ | On A Gathering of Old Men |
| Ernest Gaines is a writer who just happens to tell a very good story. Subsequently, his output is interesting, educational, historic, and witty at the same time. If one wants a historic look at race relations during the period of "Modern Slavery", then this is the book to read. This book basically tells of one Black Tenant Farmer who has reached his breaking point and refuses to be beaten by the White property owner as a matter of course. It shows that Blacks can come together for a common cause and against a common enemy. It also tells of the interrelationship of Blacks and Whites with some Whites maintaining a superior position through intimidation and unpunished violence, while another side maintains that position through care and compassion, much as the "good" mistress took care of "her people" during the period of sanctioned slavery. This, as all of Gaines' works is very good reading. | |
