Race and America Discussion Post
The novel and the four supplementary readings are all at least a few decades old, but they ask questions about racism and American society that obviously have not been satisfactorily answered even today. If Chester Himes were writing his novel today, what aspects of American society, culture, or politics today would he feel have improved since his time period? And what aspects of American society, culture, or politics today would he find the most troubling? There is no right or wrong answer, but be sure to write in a tone that is respectful and careful about this sensitive issue.
