I like a book that takes me where I’ve never been and introduces me to people seldom if ever seen in fiction. This novel meets both criteria. It took me to Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962-1963, just as the civil rights movement was bubbling there, and showed me the lives of black maids in white households.
Most books and movies about civil rights are about the plight of black men, who for several reasons were more hated and feared than were black women. Lynchings usually had male victims, and black women seemed immune from this. At least, that is how it appeared to this white viewer from afar.
This novel is about the indignities suffered, for the most part, by black women. Their white employers talked about them insultingly as if they were not present. And the insults make no sense. Black maids cooked the food, served it, washed the dishes, did laundry and ironing and raised the children–but they were not allowed to use the toilet in the white employer’s house lest they pass on some disease unique to blacks. Logic is not part of this.
Harry Golden once explained that there was horizontal vs. vertical prejudice. A black person standing up, serving food, carrying bags or whatever was perfectly acceptable. But if that black person tried to sit (e.g. at a lunch counter) or lie down (e.g. in a motel) he was guilty of a racial violation. Thus, vertical: okay. Horizontal: verboten.
In “The Help” a young social pariah, fresh out of college, decides to write a book about the experiences of maids and solicits the support of the black women in Jackson. It is a dangerous project, because the women would be fired, even accused of theft and imprisoned, if discovered. Not all the experiences described were negative, however, and those were to be included as well.
The result is a very intimate tale of two separate societies, existing side by side, but never quite meshing. The why is pretty much up to the reader.
Several negative reviews focus on the dialect whi
