	New Georgia Encyclopedia: The Wind Done Gone
		Her novel The Wind Done Gone tells the story of Gone With the Wind from the perspective of the daughter of Mammy and Gerald O'Hara and thus the half sister of Scarlett O'Hara.
		The Wind Done Gone recounts many of the events in Gone With the Wind, but from a different point of view and with numerous satiric twists.
		At the same time, she demonstrates that Gone With the Wind did not accurately portray the historical world of the nineteenth-century South and that Mitchell misunderstood the African American slaves on whom the white plantation owners depended to run their plantations, pick their cotton, work in their homes, and make their lives comfortable.

	The Wind Done Gone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wind Done Gone is the first novel written by Alice Randall.
		The novel is a reinterpretation of Gone with the Wind (1936), a famous American novel written by Margaret Mitchell, which was also adapted into one of the most popular American films of all time.
		The Wind Done Gone is the same story, but told from the viewpoint of Scarlett's half-sister Cynara, a mulatto slave on Scarlett's plantation (see History of slavery in the United States); the title is a Black English vernacular sentence that might be rendered "The Wind Has Gone" in standard English.

	CNN.com - Review: 'The Wind Done Gone' a mild breeze - June 29, 2001
		Lady (Ellen), the tower of strength, piety, and rectitude in Gone with the Wind, is reduced by the knowledge that she, and therefore Scarlett and her sisters, have been tainted by Negro blood.
		On the first page of her "diary," given to her by R., Cynara records that Other "was not beautiful, but men seldom recognized this, caught up in the cloud of commotion and scent in which she moved," a twist on Mitchell's famous opening line.
		"Gone with the Wind" still remains at the center of "The Wind Done Gone." And if Cynara manages to break free from Other, Randall cannot break free from Margaret Mitchell.

	CNNfyi.com - 'Gone With the Wind' parody draws challenges, supporters - April 13, 2001
		But life at the Georgia plantation of Tara, the setting for "Gone With the Wind," is missing vital voices not often heard in the 19th century South, according to author Alice Randall.
		Mary Rose Taylor, the founder and executor of Atlanta's Margaret Mitchell House, a "Gone With the Wind" exhibit not associated with Mitchell's trust, noted Mitchell wrote her book between 1926 and 1929, when Atlanta and the entire South were segregated.
		At least one other attempted parody of "Gone With the Wind," a stage musical called "Scarlet Fever," was halted by an Atlanta federal judge in 1979.

	Amazon.com: The Wind Done Gone: A Novel: Books: Alice Randall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		On April 20, barely a month before the scheduled publication of Randall's retelling of Gone with the Wind from a slave's perspective, a federal district court in Atlanta pulled the plug, ruling that the first-time author had engaged in "unabated piracy" in the crafting of her tale.
		Think of Margaret Mitchell's epic Gone with the Wind condensed and told from the perspectives of Mammy and the Tara slaves, and you have Randall's debut novel.
		As a result, by writing TWDG, Randall is only spray painting a nasty word on the castle walls of GWTW when what she needed to do was bulldoze the original, dance gleefully on its grave, and create something very powerful in its place.

	Houghton Mifflin Trade Division The Wind Done Gone
		I am sure many of you are aware of the legal battle being fought over Houghton Mifflin’s plans to publish a first novel called The Wind Done Gone, by Alice Randall.
		High praise from great fellow writers; and these are only a few of the many examples of people who have taken the time to actually read the novel and recognize its merits, its humanity, and its humor.
		The Wind Done Gone itself, indeed, is the best refutation of the Mitchell Trusts’ accusations.
