Summary: A true journey
Comment: Horace Cayton's autobiography sheds much light on both subtle and blatant threads of racism all along his "long old road" of self discovery. His writing is clear and forthright, revealing much of his personal struggle and inner conflict as he deals with the white society that won't accept him, a black society whose identity he is still trying to understand. From Seattle to Alaska before the first world war, and on to Chicago, Alabama and Paris, his life and travels give him an ususual breadth of perspective. His is able to discuss and contrast issues as they arise in rural and urban environments, North and South, the US and Europe. Spanning most of the last century, it is a book well worth reading by anyone interested in race, class and cross cultural living in America.
