Hothouse children, They are all musically talented, but they cannot be protected from the world for long. Jonah becomes a successful young tenor, but the world of opera can only accept him as a 'brilliant Negro singer'; Joseph, our narrator, becomes a pianist and devotes his talents to the service of his brother's; Ruth turns her back on classical music ('white music') and disappears, on the run with her black husband under suspicion of being a black panther. Powers brilliantly and devastatingly delineates the tragedy of race in America, as it unfolds from the Civil rights movement to Rodney king and Louis Farrakhan, through the lives and choices of one family, caught on the cusp of identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099453833\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.2 x 1.3 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINTAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50105382207792,"sku":"Trans_9780099453833","price":764.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91nFuZGGqBL.jpg?v=1756731461","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-time-of-our-singing","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
