Description

Freewheeling Look at Race Relations Through the Ages Mumbo Jumbo is Ishmael Reed's satiric deconstruction of Western civilization, a racy and uproarious commentary on our society. In it, Reed, one of our preeminent African-American authors, mixes portraits of historical figures and fictional characters with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Mumbo Jumbo is a trenchant and often biting look at black-white relations throughout history, from a keen observer of our culture.
