The novels Hiding Place and Sent for You Yesterday personalize and interrogate that history's presence in the contemporary lives of Homewood people and all Americans. Deeply concerned that designations such as \"economically oppressed\" or \"Black\" continue to dismiss and marginalize rather than embrace communities like the one in which he was raised, John Edgar Wideman--employing words on the page as his weapon--has dedicated himself to recording the weight, beauty, complexity, and justice that he believes Homewood's voices, stories, and lives have earned and deserve. In 1983, The Homewood Trilogy signaled the arrival of a major voice in American literature. Forty years later, this edition of the Trilogy celebrates Wideman's ongoing contribution by offering these masterworks to a new generation of readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Edgar Wideman's\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ebooks include, among others, \u003ci\u003eLanguages of Home\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSlaveroad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLook for Me and I'll Be Gone\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYou Made Me Love You\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Homewood Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Histories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWriting to Save a Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBrothers and Keepers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHoop Roots\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSent for You Yesterday\u003c\/i\u003e.
