Turtleback, [EAN: 9780606313063], Demco Media, Demco Media, Book, [PU: Demco Media], Demco Media, In an effort to hide his southern, working class roots, Macon Dead, an upper-class northern black businessman, tries to insulate his family from the danger and despair of the rank and file blacks with whom he shares the neighbourhood. The plan leads his son, "Milkman"--a named he earned after his mother nursed him well past the proper age--onto a path exactly opposite the one his father had hoped. Milkman is driven into the arms of a violent, lower-class woman, into a clandestine circle of blacks who repay white violence in kind and into an awareness that he can fulfil his own potential by understanding the mistakes of his ancestors as they relate to his own. , 590934, Literary Fiction, 62, Fiction, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<
