Ishmael Reed’s inspired fable of the ragtime era, in which a social movement threatens to suppress the spread of black culture—hailed by Harold Bloom as one of the five hundred greatest books of the Western canonIn 1920s America, a plague is spreading fast. From New Orleans to Chicago to New York, the “Jes Grew” epidemic makes people desperate to dance, overturning social norms in the process. Anyone is vulnerable and when they catch it, they’ll bump and grind into a frenzy. Working to combat the Jes Grew infection are the puritanical Atonists, a group bent on cultivating a “Talking Android,” an African American who will infiltrate the unruly black communities and help crush the outbreak. But PaPa LaBas, a houngan voodoo priest, is determined to keep his ancient culture—including a key spiritual text—alive.   Spanning a dizzying host of genres, from cinema to academia to mythology, Mumbo Jumbo is a lively ride through a key decade of American history. In addition to ragtime, blues, and jazz, Reed’s allegory draws on the Harlem Renaissance, the Back to Africa movement, and America’s occupation of Haiti. His style throughout is as avant-garde and vibrant as the music at its center. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Ishmael Reed including rare images of the author.

Audio Book Mumbo Jumbo: A Novel with FREE MOBI EDITION!

This is the novel that changed my life and academic career in the Lockwood Library at University at Buffalo (SUNY). Until I write my academic memoir, what I say about this novel can be found in my book The "Dark Heathenism" of the American Novelist Ishmael Reed: African Voodoo as American Literary HooDoo (Edwin Mellen Press, 2007). Mumbo Jumbo is the novel that inspired Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to write his seminal work The Signifying Monkey: A Theory of African-American Literary Criticism.Mumbo Jumbo is a multi-vocal, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, jazz novel at its best. Undergirded by syncretism--collage--and synchronicity--"at the end of the novel, we are told that "Time is a pendulum"; Aristotle would have difficulties finding the unity of space and time. These are characteristics that Ishmael Reed borrows from African Voodoo and postmodernism, just to name these two--Mumbo Jumbo challenges one's knowledge of history, culture, literature, philosophy,...It is a must-have novel.I Mumbo Jumbo so much that I now have it a Kindle edition.Grab albums by Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Charlie "Bird" Parker, Fats Waller, Scott Joplin....--yes, the music of these icons of blues and jazz music encodes the stories of Jes Grew (from Topsy in Uncle Tom's Cabin)--and start reading Mumbo Jumbo.
