The fear, hatred, and anger that racism has impressed upon Bigger Thomas ravages his individuality so severely that his only means of self-expression is violence. After killing Mary Dalton, Bigger must contend with the law, the hatred of society, and his own destructive inner feelings.
I think this book could be interesting, especially with the racial tension that is consuming today's news media.

    I totally agree that this book has relevance today in our society. This book seems like a great read, and one that everybody should read just because our world is going downhill fast. Thanks for researching this! It looks good!
