Julia Peterkin pioneered in demonstrating the literary potential
for serious depictions of the African American experience.
Rejecting the prevailing sentimental stereotypes of her times, she
portrayed her black characters with sympathy and understanding,
endowing them with the full dimensions of human consciousness. In
these novels and stories, she tapped the richness of rural southern
black culture and oral traditions to capture the conflicting
realities in an African American community and to reveal a grace
and courage worthy of black pride.
