This research paper: A 5 page essay that analyzes August Wilson's play Joe Turner's Come and Gone, which is set in Pittsburgh, the summer of 1911. In the author's preface describing the setting and the sociopolitical environment of the era, Wilson writes of the sons and daughters of freed slaves who were streaming North, searching not only for economic sustenance, but also for "a new identity as free men of definite and sincere worth" (Wilson 203). One of the leading characters in this work is Herald Loomis and, basically, the play concerns his journey of self-discovery and self-healing as he finally overcomes the trauma perpetrated on this soul by being captured and enslaved by Joe Turner's chain gang for seven years. No additional sources cited.
