520    "The great scholar, W. E. B. Du Bois, once wrote about the
       Problem of race in America, and what he called "Double 
       Consciousness," a sensitivity that every African American 
       possesses in order to survive. Since childhood, Ailey 
       Pearl Garfield has understood Du Bois's words all too 
       well. Bearing the names of two formidable Black Americans-
       -the revered choreographer Alvin Ailey and her great 
       grandmother Pearl, the descendant of enslaved Georgians 
       and tenant farmers--Ailey carries Du Bois's Problem on her
       shoulders. Ailey is reared in the north in the City but 
       spends summers in the small Georgia town of Chicasetta, 
       where her mother's family has lived since their ancestors 
       arrived from Africa in bondage. From an early age, Ailey 
       fights a battle for belonging that's made all the more 
       difficult by a hovering trauma, as well as the whispers of
       women--her mother, Belle, her sister, Lydia, and a 
       maternal line reaching back two centuries--that urge Ailey
       to succeed in their stead. To come to terms with her own 
       identity, Ailey embarks on a journey through her family's 
       past, uncovering the shocking tales of generations of 
       ancestors--Indigenous, Black, and white--in the deep 
       South. In doing so Ailey must learn to embrace her full 
       heritage, a legacy of oppression and resistance, bondage 
       and independence, cruelty and resilience that is the story
       --and the song--of America itself"--|cProvided by
