Publisher's Notes
First Line: "A true sport, the mayor of new Orleans, spiffy in his patent-leather brown and white shoes, his plaid suit, the Rudolph Valentino parted-down-the-middle hair style, sits in his office.""
Industry Reviews
"From its title on, 'Mumbo Jumbo' serves as a critique of black and Western literary forms and conventions, and of the complex relationships between the two."
Publisher's Catalog - Henry Louis Gates Jr.
"A 'HooDoo' thriller, an all-out assault on western civilization...Reed's best novel."
Waldron
