Summary

The 50th-anniversary edition of Margaret Walker's best-selling classic, with a foreword by Nikki Giovanni.

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 30 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.

A moving story excellently narrated

This is a moving and inspiring story beautifully narrated. Both tragic and uplifting, it clearly portrays the suffering of African Americans during slavery and reconstruction. The narration evokes the lyrical language of all the characters - wonderful and highly recommended.

Excellent book. Beautifully narrated

Fantastic book. Captivating. Evoked a mixture of feelings. Heartbreaking how human beings can be so cruel even today.
