Mumbo Jumbo

Mumbo Jumbo is Ishmael Reed's brilliantly satiric deconstruction of Western civilization, a racy and uproarious commentary on our society. In it, Reed mixes portraits of historical figures and fictional characters with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Mumbo Jumbo is a trenchant and often biting look at black-white relations throughout history, from a keen observer of our culture.
