{"product_id":"green-thursday-julia-peterkin-9780820319551","title":"Green Thursday: Stories","description":"Julia Peterkin pioneered in demonstrating the literary potential for serious depictions of the African American experience. Rejecting the prevailing sentimental stereotypes of her times, she portrayed her black characters with sympathy and understanding, endowing them with the full dimensions of human consciousness. In these novels and stories, she tapped the richness of rural southern black culture and oral traditions to capture the conflicting realities in an African American community and to reveal a grace and courage worthy of black pride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Peterkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820319554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820319551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.52h x 5.18w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/1998 pg. 144","brand":"Julia Peterkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926502408447,"sku":"9780820319551","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_561fd54e-6db4-48d8-94bc-13d401d89e01.jpg?v=1681083433","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-thursday-julia-peterkin-9780820319551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
