Here is an interview with Alice Randall, the author of The Wind Done Gone: A Novel, in which she explains her goals with the parody, the law suit, etc.
It's interesting, at the very least. I can sort of understand her assertion that MM was only trying to justify Jim Crow laws in her work; that interpretation is certainly valid if one ignores her biography. I don't completely agree with her, but she does have some valid points. Although, I do wonder what MM would think of her main arguments. Worth a read!
