description: Macmillan "First Printing" with 704 pages - An epic testament to the efforts of the Black people of Mississippi to change their society. The Devil Has Slippery Shoes has more drama, emotion, suspense, excitement, "story," and magnificent characters than most novels. It can be read as an enormously stirring personal document and as a seminal report on a successful experiment-one that is being attempted with controversial results throughout our nation today. It is of inestimable value as a blueprint and guide for professional workers in every area-sociologist, teachers, social workers, as well as parents, students, and indeed all citizens who sincerely want to play an active part in helping our troubled country solve its great domestic problems in this critical time. (1969)
