![]() ![]() Their search for a place to be who they want to be is an exhilarating, painful, magical adventure. Living in a system stacked against them, Redwood and Aidan’s power and talent are torment and joy. The power of hoodoo is the power of the community that believes in its capacities to heal and determine the course of today and tomorrow. Redwood, an African American woman, and Aidan, a Seminole Irish man, journey from Georgia to Chicago, from haunted swampland to a “city of the future.” They are gifted performers and hoodoo conjurors, struggling to call up the wondrous world they imagine, not just on stage and screen, but on city streets, in front parlors, in wounded hearts. ![]() ![]() This “dreaming in public” becomes common culture and part of what transforms immigrants and “native” born into Americans.

Picard's conversational style, as bursting with rhetorical questions as a primary teacher, belies the breadth of her reading and research. This goes some way to redressing a balance which historically has tended to favour the rich and famous, who left behind the majority of buildings and ephemera. Starting with a "virtual" sedan-chair tour of the city, she proceeds to elucidate every aspect of urban life, with particular attention paid to the poor, and the "middling sort", a fledgling middle class. She pursues them solely for their era, stretching 30 years from 1740 to 1770, pivoted on the publication of Johnson's Dictionary in 1755. Samuel Pepys gives way to Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, though, entertainingly, she shows no affection for the pair. The lives that once thronged its streets are the stuff of her books, and Dr Johnson's London updates her 1997 volume, Restoration London, by one hundred years or so. Liza Picard certainly isn't tired of London. ![]() |
