A classic of African-American fiction.
This tale of a young black man who becomes a union organizer during WWII remains Himes's greatest attempt to examine and provide solutions for major problems in American life: racism, anti-Semitism, labor strife, and corruption.
Himes’ second book is one of the great protest novels of the 20th Century, on par with Richard Wright’s Native Son. It is also a tragic love story, a heart-rending portrayal of the frailty of human relationships, that reaffirms Himes’ standing as a provocative and major writer.
