The Wind Done Gone

Alice Randall`s controversial spinoff/parody of Margaret Mitchell`s GONE WITH THE WIND is told not from the point of view of the rich white folks, but through the eyes of the beautiful Cynara, daughter of a white plantation owner and a black slave woman. The Margaret Mitchell estate sought to block publication of THE WIND DONE GONE, and won, but Randall appealed and prevailed in the courts. Hailed by African-American intellectuals, writers, and activists, the novel--Randall`s first--provides a view of Southern plantation life and Reconstruction that has long been missing from American literature.
