Elwood Curtis has done everything right: he is diligent, reliable in his after school job and he eagerly follows this charismatic preacher named Martin Luther King. When his teacher recognizes his intellect and promising future, he helps him to attend college courses. Yet, fate didn’t want his life to turn out like this and being black even after the Jim Crow laws meant that there are certain roads not to be travelled. Thus, instead of learning for college, Elwood find himself in Nickel Academy, a juvenile detention centre. He doesn’t fit in the group of delinquent and illiterate boys but he has to be what the supervisors see in him and either he plays by the rules or he gets to know the other side of Nickel, the one that is hidden and buried and will only be excavated half a century later.“The Nickel Boys†undoubtedly is one of the most awaited novels of 2019. After his tremendous success with “Underground Railroad†and winning the 2016 National Book Award for Fiction and the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, expectations ran high for his next book and there is no denying: Colson Whitehead surpassed what I had anticipated. Another tragic story that needed to be told, narrated in a gripping and heart-breaking way that leaves emotionally exhausted.Institutions like Nickel Academy were a reality not only in the US but also in Europe. Establishment for boys whom nobody cared for or missed were the ideal place for abuse and maltreatment of every kind and where, under the disguise of pedagogy and good-will, the most horrible atrocities took place. It is not only the fact of bringing this piece of eagerly forgotten history back to our mind why Whitehead’s novel is so important and relevant, first and foremost, he masterly narrates how a young boy could become an innocent victim of the circumstances without the least hope of every getting justice or at least an apology for the wrong that has been done to him.Apart from this, this story – even though it is fictitious – underlines that it takes people who stand up for their ideals, who endure hardship and injustice in order to make a change. We can see these people in the news every day and all of them deserve our support. Taking into consideration the current state of the world, we surely need more Elwoods who fearlessly fight for the right cause.
Having lived in Florida in my younger years (age 11 to 13), and witnessing first hand the treatment of the blacks, this brought back memories of long ago. Not the beatings per se but the white only drinking fountains, the KKK in their trucks on Merritt Island on Saturday nights, not being able to use the phone to call a cab at the A & P, and the overall daily discrimination toward the blacks. I am in my 70's now and I still remember those days as if they were yesterday.This novel is powerful and poignant. The beatings and the abuse these young men suffered at the Nickel Academy were absolutely horrendous. Just think this Academy was in existence for 111 years...Wow...just wow.Elwood Curtis was a Frenchtown boy and was sent to the Nickel Academy for allegedly stealing a car. There were 4 different ranks - Grub, Explorer, Pioneer and Ace. When the rank of Ace was attained, it meant graduation for the young man. If only one could make it that far...Beatings were done at the White House and the advice given to Elwood was ' best not to move'. Black Beauty was the implement which was a strap with a wooden handle. And, abuse was prevalent on so many different levels. Made me absolutely sick to my stomach to read some of these incidents.Just amazing to read this novel and it certainly aroused my empathy....and sadness and left my heart broken for these poor young boys. Equally sad to me was the fact that 7 of the bodies found were never identified.The skills of the author are unparalleled in evoking the feeling that the reader is indeed present in their lives at the Academy. Clear, concise writing and just plain outstanding.Most highly recommended and for multiple reasons. A must read, in my opinion, for anyone interested in this dark era. Although this is a novel, it certainly reads as though it is true.This should have a Verified Purchase on it. Will check with Amazon to see why it doesn't. VP is there this AM. Thank you, Amazon...
Colson Whitehead continues his searing chronicle of the lives of black folk, focusing now on Elwood and Turner, two boys trapped in the Nickel Academy. Trapped is the only word to describe the circumstance of teenagers in what is essentially a forced labor camp. A place where the slightest infraction is met with beatings and torture.. Where major violations can result in death. At Nickel Academy the work you do lines the pocket of white supervisors (overseers is a better description) and your food and medicine, sent by the state is resold to the white grocers and doctors of Tampa. A cushy job is to be parceled out as house boys and errand boys, doing chores and house labor for prominent white folk. Those are the lucky few--most are sent to the printing presses and worse still, the fields. In this bizarre recreation of the antebellum South, slaves are divided once again into field and house types.Most crushing, most cruelly neither boy deserves his punishment --not that any teenager would deserve to have their youth smashed so thoroughly and so brutally. Elwood's only infraction is to hitch a ride in a car that is stolen (something he could not know); Turner was part of a crowd of boys beating a man for exposing himself to children. Elwood is the dreamer. He has internalized the speeches of the Reverend Dr. King. He has marched for civil rights and racial justice. He believes that one day black children and white children will be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. And El has character--an authentic dignity he insists upon and clings to in the face adversity and diminishing possibilities. Turner knows better--that black folk abandon their own, white folk divide, conquer and abuse. It's the way of the world. Or at least their world. Throughout Nickel Academythere is the recurring metaphor and image of a far-off amusement park called Fun House, representing that never-to-be-reached Promised Land for black children. Heartbreaking.In just more than 200 pages Whitehead portrays a devastating panorama of iniquity and cruelty. As Nickel Boys moves to its inevitable denouement the reader realizes racial justice in this America is an illusory thing--perhaps an impossibility. What is possible though is to hold on to your dignity. To keep memory alive; hold on and survive; fashion a life out of ashes.. Some manage it. Others do not, but they are remembered. Such are the lives of Nickel Boys.
