Robert Jones is a crew leader in a naval shipyard in Los Angeles in the
1940s. He should have a lot going for him, being educated, with a steady
job and a steady relationship. But in the four days covered in this
novel, the impossibility of life as a black man in a white world is made
devastatingly clear.
Jones is surrounded by prejudice,
suspicion and paranoia, and his daily experiences influence his
thoughts, dreams and behaviour. Immediately recognised as a masterful
expose of racism in everyday life, If He Hollers Let Him Go is Chester
Himes' first book, originally published in 1945.
