<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Thoroughly enjoyable . . . an important document drawing more much-needed attention to the hidden history of a people both African and American".--Los Angeles Times Book Review.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In 1962 the poet, musician, and performer Maya Angelou claimed another piece of her identity by moving to Ghana, joining a community of Revolutionist Returnees inspired by the promise of pan-Africanism. <i>All God's Children Need Walking Shoes</i> is her lyrical and acutely perceptive exploration of what it means to be an African American on the mother continent, where color no longer matters but where American-ness keeps asserting itself in ways both puzzling and heartbreaking. As it builds on the personal narrative of <i>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings </i>and <i>Gather Together in My Name</i>, this book confirms Maya Angelou's stature as one of the most gifted autobiographers of our time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An important document drawing more much-needed attention to the hidden history of a people both African and American. --<i>Los Angeles Times Book Review</i> <p/>This is a superb account by a great woman who has embraced a difficult destiny with rare intelligence and infectious joie de vivre. --<i>The Boston Globe <p/></i>Maya Angelou regards the world and herself with intelligence and wit; she records the events of her life with style and grace. --<i>The Washington Post Book World </i> <p/>Angelou's journey into Africa is a journey into herself, into that part of every Afro-American's soul that is still wedded to Africa, that still yearns for a home. --<i>Chicago Tribune Book World </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Poet, writer, performer, teacher, and director Maya Angelou was raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and then moved to San Francisco.
