Synopsis
Focusing on race, religion, and class, author Preston M. Browning Jr. discusses life in the rural South as he experienced it in the 1930s and 1940s. With humorous touches and an eye for detail, this memoir provides not only snippets about the era but also the history of some of Virginia's oldest families. Born in 1929, Browning's childhood coincided with the Great Depression, and much of what he tells about his Culpeper, Virginia home communicates the ubiquitous poverty of the time. In addition, Affection and Estrangement: A Southern Family Memoir includes stories about relatives Browning remembers-some quite eccentric, as well as ancestors from two distinguished Virginia families, the Cockes and the Cabells. He also examines the impact of the oftentimes harsh and punitive Calvinist piety of the time, with its emphasis on human depravity. Including sketches of more than twenty relatives and ancestors, Affection and Estrangement: A Southern Family Memoir shows how Browning's family shaped his emerging sense of self-from his mother's aristocratic heritage to his father's business-oriented, middle-class background. This memoir pays tribute to those people-ancestors, parents, relatives, teachers, clergymen, siblings, and friends-who contributed so much to the formation of Browning and his character., Focusing on race, religion, and class, author Preston M.

- -***s (2)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe item is listed as being in good condition. This is not accurate. The back cover is held on by five only, it is ripped, bent, and clearly not in good condition. The front cover is little better but it is hanging on to the comb part better. The inside has every page written on it. However, it is in pencil at least. Value is good though. The packaging was nice for shipping. Shipping was quick.
