THE CELEBRATED SHORT STORY COLLECTION FROM THE AMERICAN POET AND
WRITER OFTEN CALLED THE 'POET LAUREATE OF HARLEM' A black maid
forms a close bond with the daughter of the cruel white couple for
whom she works. Two rich, white artists hire a black model to pose
as a slave. A white-passing boy ignores his mother when they cross
each other on the street. Written with sardonic wit and a keen eye
for the absurdly unjust, these fourteen stories about racial
tensions are as relevant today as the day they were penned, and
linger in the mind long after the final page is turned. 'Powerful,
polemical pieces' New York Times 'Some of the best stories that
have appeared in this country in years' North American Review
