Carmen Uter Proctor-Cook is the grand-daughter of a Wesort-Piscataway woman, Sarah Proctor born in La Plata (Charles County) Maryland in 1889 as a direct descendant from the "bird clan" of the Piscataway Indians.
In her four memoirs, called "HeritageCollection" , as she recaptures phases of her life, she tells of how she managed her mixed identity by juggling all three segments of her "tri-racial" ancestry; the European (Portuguese), the African (Angolan), and the Indian (Wesort-Piscataway).
In the first three books; "Miss Willamina", "The Geechee Lady", and "Secret Castas"...the author tells of the outrageously color-conscious world that she grew up in; ....... the world of her childhood which has changed dramatically, and still growing in terms of racial relationships.
In this book, subtitled, "Wesort Woman", the author tells it straight from her hips just as she remembers it. There is no "sugar-coating" to help the medicine go down.view less
