Mingo And Other Sketches In Black And White

"Mingo" was written by Joel Chandler Harris, an American author well known for his Uncle Remus series. With an eye-catching new cover and finely typeset material, this updated edition of "Mingo" is both up-to-date and intelligible. Readers are compelled to keep reading because the title character is so self-indulgent. Some stories are brutal and weird, whereas others creep up on you and draw you in slowly. Within this work, Harris tells a story about the complicated issues of race and human connections in the United States' South during the latter part of the nineteenth century. The main characters of the story are Mingo, one of the young African American man, and other one John, a white farmer. Mingo has a special connection with John because he grew up on his property. Despite the pervasive racial tensions of the time, John and Mingo maintain a genuine and close friendship. As the novel progresses, though, Mingo finds himself in a circumstance that puts their friendship to the test. He is suspected and charged with stealing.
