The Color Purple

The Book Isn't Necessarily Better: A Library Podcast

Sep 1 2021 • 44 mins

Join Roxanne and Mikayla as they discuss The Color Purple by Alice Walker. In this episode, the librarians explore this modern classic and its star-studded adaptations - the 1985 movie directed by Steven Spielberg and the 2005 Tony winning musical. Learn about Alice Walker's life and influences, what a "womanist" is, and why the 2015 revival of the musical is perfectly cast.
