Black Jack Davy by John M. Oskison, published in 1926, is a novel that delves into the themes of identity, cultural conflict, and the complexities of racial heritage in the American Southwest. The story centers around Davy, a young man of mixed Native American and European descent, who struggles to reconcile the different aspects of his identity while navigating the societal challenges of his time. Oskison, drawing from his own Cherokee heritage, presents a nuanced exploration of the tensions between traditional Native American values and the pressures of assimilation into mainstream American culture. The novel captures the personal and cultural dilemmas faced by those living on the margins of two worlds, providing insight into the broader experiences of Native Americans in early 20th-century America. Through Davy's journey, Oskison crafts a compelling narrative that reflects the enduring struggle for self-definition and cultural survival. A scarce title, especially with the dust jacket.
