Not Without Love: MemoirsUPNE, 2003 - 290 pages "Webb offers a candid memoir of political, sexual, and social awakening at a pivotal time in twentieth-century America. Politically committed, she was nevertheless repelled by the misogyny and petty feuds that often marred the actions of the left. She was able to earn her living by using her beauty, but she was compelled to live a double life because of the violent racism that surrounded her working days. Through James, before their marriage, she became a close friend of Wright, Ralph Ellison, Chester Himes, and James Baldwin. Webb provides first-hand portraits of the radical left, the African-American literary scene, and, especially, the intimate daily life and thoughts of C.L.R. James."--Jacket. |
