ABOUT TAYLOR'S WORK
Taylor Branch is an independent writer, whose work has focused primarily upon race relations and historical subjects in the United States.
The strength of Branch’s writing lies in his ability to synthesize vast amounts of material into a readable narrative. Through oral histories and scholarly research, Branch vividly recreates the mood of the nation during the civil rights era. His book, Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, 1954-63 (1988), goes beyond politics to capture the human struggle and drama of this era, particularly the role of the black church in shaping the civil rights movement and its challenge to Southern racism and Federal indifference.
BIOGRAPHY
Branch’s other works include Second Wind: The Memoirs of an Opinionated Man (1979), The Empire Blues (1981), Labyrinth (1982), Pillar of Fire (1999), and At Canaan’s Edge (2005).
Branch received an A.B. (1968) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and an M.P.A. (1970) from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University.
布兰奇写作的优势在于他有能力将大量的材料综合成可读的叙述。 通过口述历史和学术研究，布兰奇生动地再现了民权时代的国家情绪。 他的书《分水岭》（Parting the Waters）。他的书《分水岭：1954-63年的美国》（1988年）超越了政治，抓住了这个时代的人类斗争和戏剧性，特别是黑人教会在塑造民权运动中的作用，以及它对南方种族主义和联邦冷漠的挑战。
