Winona: A Tale of Negro Life in the South and Southwest
(19902-1903) is a novel by African American author Pauline
Elizabeth Hopkins. Originally published in The Colored American
Magazine, America's first monthly periodical covering African
American arts and culture, Winona: A Tale of Negro Life in the
South and Southwest is a groundbreaking novel that addresses themes
of race and colonization from the perspective of a young girl of
mixed descent. As white settlers moved westward across North
America, they not only displaced the indigenous population, but
brought into contact peoples from opposite ends of Earth. On an
island in the middle of Lake Erie, White Eagle-recently displaced
after the dissolution of the Buffalo Creek reservation-has built a
home for himself and his African American wife. Adopting her son
Judah, White Eagle establishes a life for his family apart from the
prejudices and violence of American life. A daughter, Winona, is
born soon after, and grows to be proud of her rich cultural
heritage. When two white hunters stumble upon the island, however,
and when White Eagle is soon found dead, his family is left to the
mercy of an uncaring, hostile nation. Winona: A Tale of Negro Life
in the South and Southwest is a heartbreaking work of historical
fiction from a true pioneer of American literature, a woman whose
talent and principles afforded her the vision necessary for
illuminating the injustices of life in a nation founded on slavery
and genocide. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins'
Winona: A Tale of Negro Life in the South and Southwest is a
classic work of African American literature reimagined for modern
readers.
