Move on up - Japanese version
Japanische Biografie
ISBN 4-88202-304-0
This edition is the Japanese edition of the autobiography "Movin' On Up," which Mahalia Jackson wrote in 1966 together with Evan McLeod Wylie. The book was intended to record Mahalia's life story and her personal perspective on her career. Although "Movin' On Up," as stated in the original edition, was intended to be Mahalia's authentic narrative, it is questionable whether it really succeeded in doing so.
There are indications that Mahalia expressed frustration with Wylie's "misrepresentations" of her oral tradition and the presence of misinformation. This suggests potential inaccuracies or interpretations of her words by the co-author that did not fully match Mahalia's own recollections. Nevertheless, the book offers intimate insights into Mahalia Jackson's life that are, in a sense, first-hand and is the first "Mahalia book" ever published.
