Naturally\, the powers-that-be are having none of it. A repressive conspiracy is operating in the shadows\, and it is dead set on squelching Jes Grew and its Carriers–Black artists and musicians–by any means necessary.\n\nSo begins the classic novel by Ishmael Reed\, the iconic satirist whose contributions to American literature have drawn praise from the likes of James Baldwin and Harold Bloom. Mumbo Jumbo is an ingenious deconstruction of Western civilization–a cinematic collage that mixes portraits of historical figures and incidents with sound bites on subjects ranging from ragtime to Greek philosophy. Now with a new introduction by the author\, this timeless and crucial work of twentieth-century fiction is ready to be discovered by a new generation of readers. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-mumbo-jumbo-by-ishmael-reed/ LOCATION:CLP – Sheraden\, 720 Sherwood Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15204\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/mumbo-jumbo-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4552007;-80.0565352 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Sheraden 720 Sherwood Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15204 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=720 Sherwood Avenue:geo:-80.0565352,40.4552007 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270210T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270210T160000 DTSTAMP:20261110T174700Z CREATED:20261019T153946Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261110T174700Z UID:10008912-1802271600-1802275200@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club - Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. \nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Homegoing\n Yaa Gyasi \n \n\n Ghana\, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages\, each unaware of the other.
