Fisher (a true Renaissance man - a doctor, novelist, musician, orator, etc.) wrote this novel demonstrating that African-Americans of all classes can effectively fight oppression if they set their differences aside. He had also written the first detective novel with all African-American characters (The Conjure-Man Dies, 1932).
