From the Paper:

"Maya Angelou's book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, is an autobiographical account of Angelou's life as a young black girl in America. Angelou writes about her life as Marguerite Ann Johnson, (Angelou's given name) and tells the story from the perspective of a young, black, female child during the years 1931-1945, (ages three to seventeen) (Bloom 70). Beginning her tale in the south, Angelou relates the story of her life with Momma, her father, her mother, (Vivian) and her brother, Bailey. Within this world that spans from Stamps, Arkansas, to San Francisco, California, Angelou discusses the hardships, and joys of her life that was centered within her family's existence, and in the racism that each member of her family had to endure. However, Angelou's book relates more than a factual account of racial tensions in the south. "
