Electrifying. Wow."-Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy- An American MemoirA sweeping narrative of the unique beauty and trials of Black matriarchy in America that weaves a sharp, tender examination of three single Black mothers-the author's grandmother, mother, and the author herself-with stories of influential Black women in our culture"Bonet tells the whole history of this country through the relationships of and between Black mothers and daughters."-Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America"Bonet dances on our hearts in this classic creation of will and wit. Electrifying. Wow."-Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy- An American MemoirBetty Jean, the author's grandmother, had a house along a bayou in Texas, a home paid for and run without a man by her side. This home served as the center of Bonet's family's universe, the one place that was a constant through all of life's changes.Mama Connie, one of Betty Jean's eleven children, vowed that her life would be different. And in many ways it was- she got married, lived in suburbia, and built a life resembling the American dream. But when it came to raising children of her own, she was more like Betty Jean than she cared to admit. But, like her mother before her, Connie's sweat was the founding salt of her own universe.Today, Sasha Bonet navigates all aspects of being a mother-escape, promise, burden, assent, and rebellion-not just for the women in her family who came before her, but for Black women with whom society is acquainted, too- figures like Nina Simone, Betty Davis, and Darnella Frazier, who filmed the murder of George Floyd.Generations of Black women have borne children, borne the burdens of events untold, and borne witness to unspeakable trials. The Waterbearers carries this history, its fierce eloquence capturing a masterpiece of life written by an author who is intimately acquainted with how Black women have passed down knowledge and culture. Sasha Bonet doesn't just present genealogical lineages but illuminates the cultural and societal connections of strong Black women who have built legacies and changed the world, sometimes in the most mundane of moments. The fierce eloquence of this story confirms Sasha Bonet as a voice we all now need to hear. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
