### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Black Huck Finn
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017*

Ely (pronounced "E-lee") Green's biography is crucial to an understanding of an "aristocratic" (his word, used favorably) academic community and its separate black community in Sewanee, Tennessee, between the time of Ely's birth in 1893 until he flees Sewanee in 1911. To a greater degree, it is crucial to an understanding of conflicting biases and religious tenants which strain against them as presented through the innocence and honesty of a young biracial man. Ely is strong. He fights "sagers" (rednecks) who call him a "n...." and shuns those who call him a bastard. He is a man of principles even as he struggles--often at the feet of wise clerics--to discover what exactly those principles are or ought to be. Ely Green is a black Huck Finn, resourceful, resilient, and clever.An extended biography ("Ely: Too Black, Too White") continues beyond Ely's hasty departure from Sewanee and covers his life in Texas and California.

    What a gem
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011*

Loved this book.  In a pure, clear voice, Elisha Green -- a young man who was 1/2 black, 1/2 white -- tells the story of his life a hundred years ago in the small university town of Sewanee, TN.
