The dialogue is sharp and realistic, adding authenticity to the narrative. The book is a powerful commentary on the societal norms and prejudices of the time, highlighting the struggles faced by individuals who dare to challenge the status quo. ‘Whitewash’ is a classic example of early 20th-century American literature, showcasing Mumford’s talent for both storytelling and social commentary. Ethel Watts Mumford, a playwright and author known for her incisive critiques of American society, wrote ‘Whitewash’ as a response to the racial and social tensions of her time.
