VINTAGE CLASSICS' HARLEM RENAISSANCE SERIES Celebrating the finest
works of the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important Black
arts movements in modern history. 'White peoples maybe mistreats
you an' hates you, but when you hates 'em back, you's de one what's
hurted, 'cause hate makes yo' heart ugly - that's all it does'
Sandy's in the fifth grade when he's forced to sit on the back row
away from his white classmates and denied entry to a new amusement
park. His grandmother, who is raising him alongside his mother and
aunt, tells him that love is the only thing to make room for in his
heart. But it's Sandy's discovery of literature that inspires him
to continue his education and make sense of the unjust world he
inhabits in the debut novel from one of the foremost pioneers of
the Harlem Renaissance. '[Hughes] gives his readers... a guide for
careful consideration of the lives of everyday black people. Such a
guide is still useful to readers and writers today. Perhaps now
more than ever' Angela Flournoy, New York Times
