Topic: Grace Lumpkin


  
  Grace Lumpkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grace Lumpkin (1892–1980) is best remembered as an author in the tradition of proletarian literature who eventually became an ardent anti-communist.
Lumpkin was born in Milledgeville, Georgia to an affluent family and grew up there and in South Carolina.
Lumpkin's friends knew her as a fellow traveller of the Communist Party and a frequenter of the John Reed Club.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Grace Lumpkin (1891-1980)
Lumpkin used the Loray Mill strike, which took place in Gastonia, North Carolina, in 1929, and the Scottsboro case, which erupted in Alabama in 1931, as the historical and social backdrops for her novels.
Born in Milledgeville on March 3, 1891, Lumpkin later moved with her family (including her older sister, Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin, who grew up to become a well-known sociologist) to South Carolina, where she witnessed firsthand the suffering of fl and white sharecroppers and laborers.
Lumpkin's life and writing were dramatically influenced by cultural radicalism, with its links to U.S. communism in the 1930s, and the ferreting out of Communists and Communist sympathizers in the 1950s.

Grace, feeling the goals of the party were the same as her beliefs, embraced the party.
Grace began to realize that the party was going too far and she was straying from her original goal.
Lumpkin, trying to refocus on her original goal to make a difference, went from the far left extreme to the far right, and joined the Moral Re-Armament movement, a religious group, aiming to better the world through sharing and guidance.

Grace's father, William Lumpkin, was a Confederate veteran, who instilled in his children a strong sense of pride for the southern cause.
Lumpkin grew increasingly dedicated to the Party's cause and message, finding it, in some ways, a substitute for the strong Episcopal faith instilled in her by her family, though she never formally joined.
The paradoxes of Grace Lumpkin's life are acute, with traces of her radicalism still clinging to her despite a sharp turn back toward family and religion.

 New Georgia Encyclopedia: Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin (1897-1988)
Katharine Lumpkin was born in 1897 in Macon to William Lumpkin and Annette Caroline Morris Lumpkin.
The Lumpkin children responded differently to their upbringing: although Katharine's eldest sister, Elizabeth, remained committed to the Lost Cause, another sister, Grace, later wrote a series of leftist novels.
Although Lumpkin's long, rich career was marked by achievement in several areas, it is for her autobiography that she will be remembered.

Grace Lumpkin’s upbringing in the South during the turn of the century was fraught “with clashing incongruities” (6).
Hall maintains that Lumpkin takes an actual event, the Gastonia Strike of 1929, and uses it as a tangential event through which to explore the dialectical forces within the South—particularly those forces affecting “the bodies and lives of women” (8).

 Landscapes of the Heart by Jacquelyn D. Hall - Ideas, Vol. 6, No. 2, 1999
Jacquelyn Hall's description of a book she is writing about the Southern writer Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin points to many of the recurring issues of our discussions, so her reflections on "Landscapes of the Heart" offer what might be called an entry to the seminar room.
Jacquelyn was a Fellow at the Center when she used her work on Lumpkin to stimulate an animated debate about the ways in which personal identities emerge from regional affiliations, family relations, social expectations about gender or race, and narratives about history or memory.
The Lumpkins were planters’ daughters from South Carolina, insiders to what people often see as the “real” South, the deep, exotic South.

Back in 1954, it was still not possible for an all-fl team to win at the Illinois High School Association's statewide basketball championship, known in the vernacular as -- you guessed it -- March Madness.
But Paxton Lumpkin, a 6-foot guard who was later compared with Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, led his DuSable High School team to the Chicago championship, earning a shot at the statewide crown.
They don't limit themselves to the legitimate aspirations permitted to denizens of the Colonial Athletic association; like Lumpkin they are exceeding their own wildest dreams.

 Overviews of The Book of the Dead
Affirming that African Americans are representative of the American working class is one thing; depicting how they are representative is another problem altogether for white writers committed to revolutionary change.
This challenge is born out in a number of proletarian novels, such as the Gastonia novels of Mary Heaton Vorse, Fielding Burke, and Grace Lumpkin, in which the relative silence of fl characters belies the claims made for multiracial unity.
More often than not the presence of fl characters in proletarian fiction tells us more about the white characters' ability, or lack thereof, to combat racism on behalf of working-class solidarity.

God does actually exercise his sovereignty in men's salvation: In calling one people or nation and giving them the means of grace, and leaving others without them.
He did this of old, when he chose but one people, to make them his covenant people, and to give them the means of grace, and left all others, and gave them over to heathenish darkness and the tyranny of the devil, to perish from generation to generation for many hundreds of years.
In most societies man has adapted himself to environment with plenty of intelligence to secure easily his material necessities from the graceful bounty of nature.
