Description: "This classic story of a man living in fear every day of his life for simply being black is as powerful today as it was when it was first published in 1947. Set in Southern California in the early forties, the novel spans four days in the life of Bob Jones, a black man relentlessly plagued by the effects of World War II racism.

His is a society drenched in insidious race consciousness, and as the novel progresses these surroundings take their toll on Jones's behavior, thoughts and emotions - even before he is accused of a brutal crime he did not commit."--BOOK JACKET.
