But Walker's novel, which tells the story of a young girl in Jazz Age Georgia, received as much criticism as praise. It launched heated conversations about race, gender, language, and sexual violence that echo to today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this gem-like examination of the novel, the film by Steven Spielberg, and the hit Broadway musical, prominent academic and activist Salamishah Tillet combines cultural criticism, history, and memoir to explore Walker's work and its lasting importance. Based on archival research and interviews with Walker, Oprah Winfrey, and Quincy Jones, among others, In Search of The Color Purple is a provocative and personal book, a bold debut from an important public intellectual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Salamishah] tells a story about a masterpiece without forgetting the extraordinary woman who crafted it and the legions of women made whole because of her work. A bold and vital tale that rightly treats Alice Walker's American classic as if it were a living, breathing being demanding our utmost attention and enduring affection.\" -New York Times bestselling author Janet Mock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419735363\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.9 Inches, Length: 5.05 Inches, Weight: 0.45 Pounds, Width: 0.75 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salamishah Tillet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862809936179,"sku":"9781419735363","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/13121163482693.jpg?v=1754185772","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/in-search-of-the-color-purple","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
