内容介绍

在英国广播公司前排节目中大放异彩

这个令人叹为观止的系列是一个奇迹。塔亚里-琼斯

敏锐、观察入微、经久不衰："杰基-凯（Jackie Kay

她早熟而出色的才华一点也不老。达蒙-加尔古特

精致... 这些故事都是瑰宝。门德斯

你会屏住呼吸，完全听从她的摆布。露西-考德威尔

看着那些贴在窗玻璃上的白人面孔，她也开始害怕了。

一个黑人家庭受到攻击，因为他们的小男孩准备进入一所全是白人的学校。

朋友们计划在玫瑰峰茶室静坐示威，但却遭到逮捕。

第一位黑人学生--一直是 "实验品"--在一所新融合的大学里躲进了自己的衣柜。

当一名社会工作者进入一个幽静的林间小屋时，她遭遇了所有访客的命运..........

黛安-奥利弗（Diane Oliver）在 1966 年不幸丧生，年仅 22 岁。

这些令人不寒而栗的故事反映了吉姆-克罗时代美国南方黑人社区噩梦般的恐怖生活，

以令人心碎的同情和智慧探讨了有毒的种族主义和为 "事业 "而行动所造成的人员伤亡。

《邻居们》描写了美国黑人家庭的完整与破碎、日常的不公正和危及生命的政治斗争，为二十世纪的文学典籍恢复了一颗失落的明星。

AS CELEBRATED ON BBC FRONT ROW

'This breathtaking collection is a marvel.' Tayari Jones
'Astute, brilliantly observed, timeless:' Jackie Kay
'Her precocious and brilliant talent hasn't aged at all.' Damon Galgut
'Exquisite ... These stories are all gems.' Mendez
'You hold your breath, completely at her mercy.' Lucy Caldwell

And she was becoming frightened too, looking at all those white faces pressed against the windowpanes.

One Black family comes under attack as their little boy prepares to start at an all-white school.
Friends plan a protest sit-in at the Rose Crest Tea Room, only to be arrested.
The first Black student - always the 'Experiment' - retreats into her closet at a newly integrated college.
And when a social worker enters a secluded woodland cabin, she meets the fate of all visitors . . .

Tragically killed aged twenty-two in 1966, Diane Oliver's masterly stories resonate today with renewed urgency. Steeped in the nightmarish horror of life for the Black community in the Jim Crow-era American South, these chilling tales explore toxic racism and the human toll of activism for 'the cause' with heartbreaking empathy and wisdom. Depicting African American families whole and broken, daily injustices and life-threatening political struggle, Neighbors restores a lost star to the twentieth-century literary canon.
