"Mumbo Jumbo" è il terzo romanzo di Ishmael Reed, uno dei nomi di punta della cosiddetta “narrativa postcoloniale”; ambientato negli anni Venti, da una parte è una feroce satira della satira cultura Wasp americana, dall’altra è un omaggio a quanto c’è di africano nella cultura Usa. Anzi, si può affermare che Reed è meno interessato alla decostruzione postmodernista, e molto di più a un’operazione letteraria di “mappatura” della cultura afroamericana.

In "A Pair of Blue Eyes" (1873), Thomas Hardy refers to "a species of Mumbo Jumbo." As so often, I wondered then about the history of an exp...

Ishmael Reed with Bob Holman

Though it may be difficult to edge in a question during Ish’s mammoth intellect spew, his non-stop provocateurship, one thing’s for sure—what we’re living through now he wrote about back in the sixties, which means that what he’s theorizing about now we can look forward to actually happening in another fifty years.
