The book views Mingus as a black artist increasingly politicized by his situation, but also unreliable as a witness to his own persecution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355734237335,"sku":"9780306802171","price":1656.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780306802171.webp?v=1767308967","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mingus-a-critical-biography-9780306802171","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
