Two Blyden Jacksons?

[edit]

"Jackson was not the same novelist and activist who wrote the best selling novel Operation Burning Candle and later published a novel called Totem. They just happen to share the same name.[5]"

Is there documentation of this? The first name Blyden is so rare, it is hard to imagine two unrelated authors both named Blyden Jackson. The source cited (http://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/04646/) doesn't seem to address this, and online booksellers have Totem, Operation Burning Candle, and the academic works all by one author.

Also, this https://twitter.com/jacremes/status/963158899942744064 might be of some interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blyden (talkcontribs) 14:23, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
