Maya Angelou’s autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970) appeared at the end of the civil rights movement of the 1960s and carries with it the bitter and hard-won fruit of this era. From the violence the poet experienced as a child, Angelou knew first-hand the harsh realities of life in the Deep South. And the critic Roger Rosenblatt has asserted, “No black American author has ever felt the need to invent a nightmare to make a point.” As Maya Angelou writes of her Stamps, Arkansas childhood: “High spots in Stamps were usually negative: droughts, floods, lynchings and deaths.” Touched by the powerful effects of these destructive forces, Maya Angelou steeled herself together with dignity and self-respect. She moved forward toward a goal of self-sufficiency, combining a consciousness of self and an awareness of the political realities of black life in the South.
Throughout I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou embraces? realism-- not only as a practical political philosophy but also as the dominant mode of the book. She linked her writings to the tradition of black slave narratives, and used idioms and special vocabulary to capture the texture of Southern Black Life. But as Angelou has written, “I speak to the black experience, but I am always talking about the human condition—about what we can endure, dream, fail at, and still survive.
