It was good rich land, much of it still virgin forest, and there was no debt on half of it. But there was a mortgage on the two hundred acres bought in 1918 and there were taxes on the full four hundred, and for the past three years there had not been enough money from the cotton to pay both and live on too.

  • I first read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry in middle school and the story stayed with me into my twenties. i reread it this last summer, and discovered that it was the fifth book in a series that followed the Logan family along their journey thorugh post-war Mississippi. It's a beautiful tale of family love and compassion, surprising acts of kindness in the face of random acts of cruelty, and the roots of long-needed and long-coming reconciliation. The story challenges readers to look at the idea of racial reconciliation as a generations-long process made by one choice at a time, to be patient and honest, that trust takes time, and that freedom and independence are two different concepts, equally important. I really can't wait to read the next few books in the series!

    Taylor's narrative style is personal yet picturesque, appropriate to the times, yet comprehensible to the modern reader. The language and content are acceptable for high school or mature middle schoolers under parental advisement, but the story is layered enough to capture the imagination of adults of all ages.

  • Ms. Taylor has nailed it again. She's a brilliant historian and writer for this era in African-American history. Her characters are well-developed and have a depth that provokes thought in her readers. I highly recommend that you grab up any of Ms. Taylor's "classics"!

  • Wow amazing the absolute best story and I can't wait to get into book 2. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with the world. God bless you!

  • A great book that provides a back story to the Logan family and their journey to the current time in the Road to Memphis. I would love to see her write one more book to answer all our questions about Moe and Cassie. Do they have a fighting chance??? She wrote this book when I was fresh out of high school after I was introduced to the books in high school. I really liked that we can see where cassie gets that sassy from her grandmama. We also get to see what her grandparents went thru just to get that land the pain the heartache and to learn to be grateful for the sacrifices of those who came beforem

  • I love this book. I’m of Native American ancestry and I found myself completely enthralled by this story. There are so many similarities between the characters of this book and their hardships and the maltreatment and setbacks that my own family endured. Even the geography is nearly the same as my great-grandparents, who were indentured servants at the time, were able to purchase their own land. Little by little they were able to purchase land in Mississippi where most of it is still owned by their descendants. Whether you’ve heard stories similar to these all you life like I have or whether you have never been enlightened to the prejudices of minorities, in any age, but, especially during this time in American history, please, do yourself a favor and read this book. You will not be sorry.

  • I bought Roll of Thunder and all the others by Mildred Taylor. I loved all of them! They will appeal to all ages and tell a timeless family story and a lesson to all Americans. The Land was written much later but it was every bit as good as the first. I hated it to end.The most important to buy are: Roll of Thunder, Let the Circle be Unbroken, Road to Memphis, and The Land with the first and last being my favorites. The others about this family are short stories.

  • The Land is not merely entertainment, but enlightenment. Out of the hundreds of fiction books I've read, this one has impacted me the most. Perhaps I am just employing hyperbole, but hear me out:

    In a quest to own land, the main character, Paul, experiences incredible pain and miracles. His greatest struggle arises from his colored skin. Even though his father is white, his mother is colored and he's treated as such.

    First of all, the book's themes of hard work and discipline put me to shame; I consider myself diligent, but I still moan about emptying the dishwasher or other chores around the house. The main character, at one point, works 14-hour days, seven days a week, to accomplish his goal.

    And just as profound, we see the extent of racial discrimination and injustice, as all this hard work goes to waste because of a white man's shameless breach of contract. I have grown up in an age where the color of one's skin truly means nothing to me, beyond hinting at heritage, so it's shocking to see that just over a hundred years ago there was such a disparity between white and black human beings.

    This book illustrated to me the need for a Civil Rights Movement, a need to reform the way we think about people; I'm glad because, for all it's defects, our society embraces and respects diversity.

    There is much to respect in the way Paul conducts matters of business and keeps himself from being indebted to anyone, even his own father. It could come off as arrogant or too independent, and often does in his dealings with white men or "betters," but, again, I respect that.

    Other themes include: family, respect, brotherly love.

    Furthermore, the author describes her experiences in trying to own land, and most of the plot is based on real-life history of her great-grandfather. I guess you just can't make this stuff up.

    I highly recommend this book to everyone of my generation and generations to come.
