"Herald Loomis, you shining! You shining like new money!" - Bynum
Walker August Wilson considered Joe Turner's Come and Gone (1984)
to be his favourite play of the ten in his award-winning Pittsburgh
Cycle. It is a drama that truly examines the roots, crossroads, and
intersections of African, American, and African American culture.
Its characters and choral griots interweave the intricate tropes of
migration from the south to the north, the effects of slavery,
black feminism and masculinity, and Wilson's theme of finding one's
"song" or identity. This book gives readers an overview of the work
from its inception on through its revisions and stagings in
regional theatres and on Broadway, exploring its use of African
American vernacular genres-blues music, folk songs, folk tales, and
dance-and nineteenth-century southern post-Reconstruction history.
Ladrica Menson-Furr presents Joe Turner's Come and Gone as a
historical drama, a blues drama, an American drama, a Great
Migration drama, and the finest example of Wilson's gift for
relocating the African American experience in urban southern cities
at the beginning and not the end of the African American
experience.
