Synopsis

Ethel Waters’s His Eye Is on the Sparrow stands as perhaps the greatest autobiography of a Black female performer, capturing both the horror and the joy of the African American woman’s experience through the often bitter yet always forgiving voice of an indomitable spirit. This edition is supplemented with a new historical preface.
