Description
A landmark in African-American literature, this powerful novel was among the first realistic depictions of ghetto life and language. Written by a renowned poet, essayist, and lecturer, its fictional portrayal of social and political issues within an early-twentieth-century black community foreshadowed the later works of such luminaries as James Baldwin and Richard Wright.
