Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Recalling the great confessional narratives from St. Augustine to Jean Jacques Rousseau, from Benjamin Franklin and Frederick Douglass to Henry Adams, James Weldon Johnson relates the emotionally gripping tale of a mixedrace piano prodigy who can pass for white in turnofthecentury America. Forced into impossible choices created by an unjust society, the narrator describes his experiences as he travels from Jacksonville to New York City, the rural South to Paris, London, and beyond. The earliest firstperson novel published by an African American author, Johnsons powerfully unsentimental story examines the significance of chance and choice, the particularly American investment in selfinvention, and the role of identity in shaping our lives. Its influence extends to Richard Wright, Ralph Waldo Ellisons Invisible Man and even Barack Obamas Dreams from my Father.Includes several of Johnsons influential and still timely New York Age editorials and a detailed biographical timeline.James Weldon Johnson (18711938) was an American writer, diplomat, musician, public intellectual, and civil rights leader.
