The girls had been left behind in South Africa when Houze and his mother fled the country in 1966, at the height of apartheid, to start a new life in Meridian, Mississippi, with Houze's American father. This revelation triggers a journey of self-discovery and reconnection that ranges from the shores of South Africa to the dirt roads of Mississippi-and back. Gripping, vivid, and poignant, this deeply personal narrative uses the unraveling mystery of Houze's family and his quest for identity as a prism through which to view the tumultuous events of the civil rights movement in Mississippi and the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa. \u003ci\u003eTwilight People\u003c\/i\u003e is a stirring memoir that grapples with issues of family, love, abandonment, and ultimately, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is also a spellbinding detective story-steeped in racial politics and the troubled history of two continents-of one man's search for the truth behind the enigmas of his, and his mother's, lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Houze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520243986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520243989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.74w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEssence\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 67\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1 - Strongly Recommended","brand":"David Houze","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064997523711,"sku":"9780520243989","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f95e6b7-83ec-4296-93ce-2320e1c0e626.jpg?v=1768672453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twilight-people-david-houze-9780520243989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
