Controversial Mississippi
This chapter is divided into two parts. It revisits the social conditions that affected the lives and shaped the public sphere of many black Mississippians. It cites the works of Mira Nair, such as her film, Mississippi Masala (1992). It also looks at the imaginative work by Mississippi writers Endesha Ida Mae Holland, Sterling Plumpp, and Etheridge Knight, among others. Their work highlighted the personal, subjective space vis a vis the official constructs that blacks found themselves in.
