Americans in the World War II era bought the novels of African American writers in unprecedented numbers. But the names on the books were not the now-familiar Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison, but Frank Yerby, Chester Himes, William Gardner Smith, and J. Saunders Redding. Stephanie Brown recovers the work of these innovative novelists, overturning conventional wisdom about the writers of the period.
