During infancy, a light-skinned black baby and a white-skinned baby were switched at birth by a slave mother. Because the black baby grows up thinking he is white, he is highly racist toward his slaves. The white baby, who thinks he is a slave, grows up with no guidance and makes a living stealing, drinking, and doing other immoral things. During a murder trial, the town lawyer Puddn'head Wilson, who is seen as a peculiar fellow by the townsfolk, is able to expose the boys' true identities. "Puddn'head Wilson" is a story carried by themes of racism, Southern customs, and questions of identity. 650 0 $a Infants switched at birth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Passing (Identity) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity $v Fiction. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a Infants switched at birth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432056 650 7 $a Passing (Identity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054417 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Trials (Murder) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01156368 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations $v Fiction. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Twain, Mark, $d 1835-1910. $t Pudd'nhead Wilson. 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20201006012042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51658964079911EB91AE0FFD35ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
