About This Item
Garden City, NY:: Doubleday,, 1949.. Hardcover -. Very good in tan cloth in a fair only dust jacket with edgewear and rubbing and wear to the folds... Liberty book club edition. The fourth book, second novel by the author of 'The Darker Brother.' The story of a black family moving from lower class to middle class existence in a small Florida town was chosen before publication as the winner of the George Washington Carver award for outstanding writing by or about American Negroes (in this case, "about" not "by"). One of the major crusaders of the left, Bucklin Moon was also one of the leading American liberals in race relations in the 1940s, but his literary career and his position as an editor at Doubleday came to an end when he was named as a Communist symphathizer by McCarthy's infamous HUAC. 274 pp.
