classic
of

"Mr.
Himes
undertakes
to
consider
the
everpresent
subconscious
terror
of
the
black
man,
the
political
morality
of
American
Communists,

Uncle
Tomism,

relationship
between
Jews

Blacks.
The
value

this
book
lies
in
its
effort
to
understand
the
psychology
of
oppressed

oppressor
and
their
relationship
to
each
other."--James
Baldwin

become
a
union
organizer
at
a
west
coast
airplane
factory
during
World
War
II.
The
tragedy
of
this
particular
man
is
a
psychological
one,
a
growing
despair
over
being
black
which
hamstrings
him
in
every
human
relationship."--The
New
Yorker

with
power
and
effectiveness."--New
