A classic in the Black literary canon. Continuously available in
print since 1968, this novel has become embedded in progressive
anti-racist culture with wide circulation of the book and hotly
debated film and television adaptations. A classic in the Black
literary tradition, The Spook Who Sat by the Door is a strong
comment on entrenched racial inequities in the United States in the
late 1960s. With its focus on the "militancy" that characterized
the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, this is the story
of one man's reaction to ruling-class hypocrisy in ways that make
the novel autobiographical and personal. As a tale of a reaction to
the forces of oppression, this book is universal. Dan Freeman, the
"spook who sat by the door," is enlisted in the CIA's elitist
espionage program. Upon mastering agency tactics, however, he drops
out to train young Black Chicagoans to combat racism as"Freedom
Fighters" in this explosive novel.
