Joyce Ann Joyce"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 thirty 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. This 50th anniversary edition includes a new foreword by poet Nikki Giovanni. In Vyry, Miss Walker has found a remarkable woman who suffered one outrage after the other and yet emerged with a humility and a mortal fortitude that reflected a spiritual wholeness.
