“These people were seeking a home - just the same as the Pilgrim Fathers. Harlem is a city of the homeless.
These people had deserted the South because it could never be considered their home. Many had been sent north by the white southerners in revenge for the desegregation ruling. Others had fled, thinking the North was better. But they had not found a home in the North. They had not found a home in America.”

It’s crazy what 1000 years (give or take) of propaganda will do to your sight-unseen preception of Blaxploitation & black crime fiction. Nose-crinkling & little-brothering of a genre bc it centers black liberation fantasies in a country stuck American Dreaming abt black extermination fantasies, acting like its craft is weaker than. Then you watch Shaft & it’s a masterpiece.
Anyway: GREAT read so far. Crackling.
