Bronze Silhouette is a poetic collection by a Black and African
woman who rhetorically views the present age from the point of view
of the under-privileged socio-cultural classes. This is the third
published poetic collection by Gladys Williams Russel and is, like
her other two works, a virtual discourse on the life patterns and
vagaries that confront the lower classes as victims of
discrimination. Williams-Russel's earlier two collections, Africa
Woman - The Poetic Perspective and A Middling Plain - Reflections
on The Times, are also committed to the same theme and the need for
men to address the issues that create pain and sadness in all
societies. She speaks about love, returned and unrequited; of the
pains of motherhood and the hope for positive growth in the future;
of the impact on man, of the negative actions by his neighbor; of
the bond between man and his God; and of the hope that wells up in
every heart that tomorrow would bring forth a better rebirth.. The
three collections are sequential in nature and constitute the
AFRICA WOMAN SERIES. Aside from being a socio-cultural commentary,
the collections also seek to answer questions that relate to the
purpose of man's existence on earth, his relationship with the God
Force and the effort to achieve optimum perfection here and beyond.
In essence, Africa Woman is about the woman's life experience as
part of the culture-transiting, post-colonial and newly independent
society of the middle quarter of the 20th century. A Middling
Plain, on the other hand, is a commentary on the socio-cultural
impact of military interferrences and administrations that were a
major occurence towards the end of the last century. Against this
backdrop, the effort by the people to re-instal democratic
governance, created a climate of conflict and confrontation. All

Kirsten I. Russell spent the happiest and perhaps the darkest years
of her childhood in Tripoli, Libya. At the Vocational Agricultural
Training Center for Libyans (VATC), a farm school where Kirsten
lived with her family for six years during the 1950s, she grew
closer to her parents as they created a home school for her and her
older sister, but she felt estranged from them when their
discipline turned punitive. During her last years in Libya, as her
parents tried to restore family harmony, Kirsten and her siblings
turned the VATC farm into the biggest, best playground they ever
had. Years later, Kirsten learned another story of her family's
years in Tripoli. Her father, Ray E. Russell, on a U.S. foreign
service assignment to Libya, helped establish VATC as a joint
Libyan-American project to train Libyan boys to become their newly
independent nation's agricultural leaders. As he taught the
students better farming methods, he watched poverty-stricken
adolescents mature into professional young men. Meanwhile, he
struggled with farming problems, language and cultural barriers,
and faceless bureaucracies in both the U.S. and Libyan governments.
Throughout the Russells' years at VATC, the family remained the
only Americans among Middle Eastern faculty, staff, and students.
The experience changed the students as well as the Russells,
thrusting them all into a larger world outside their original
homes. While Kirsten realizes the terrible cost of that experience
to her family, she remembers her childhood home in Libya as a
sunlit place where she and dozens of Libyan boys learned
discipline, not through punishment, but through education.
