The first truly historical black American novel. Joyce Ann Joyce"Jubilee "tells the true story of Vyry, the child of a white plantation owner and his black mistress.Vyry bears witness to the South s antebellum opulence and to its brutality, its wartime ruin, and the promises of Reconstruction.Weaving her own family s oral history with thirty years of research, Margaret Walker s novel brings the everyday experiences of slaves to light."Jubilee "churns with the hunger, the hymns, the struggles, and the very breath of American history. This 50th anniversary edition includes a new foreword by poet Nikki Giovanni. In Vyry, Miss Walker has found a remarkable woman who suffered one outrage after the other and yet emerged with a humility and a mortal fortitude that reflected a spiritual wholeness. "Christian Science Monitor" A revelation. "Milwaukee Journal" MARGARET WALKER (1915 1998) was one of America s most popular and respected AfricanAmerican writers and scholars.Among the most formidable literary voices to emerge in the twentieth century, she will be remembered as one of the foremost transcribers of African American heritage.
