New York: Arno Press and The New York Times, 1969. Hardcover - West's first novel originally published in 1948. Although she was born in Boston, and lived most of her life on Martha's Vineyard, she worked in New York City during the Depression and is associated with the Harlem Renaissance, both through her association with Langston Hughes and other figures of the movement, as well as editing the significant but short-lived quarterly literary journals - Challenge in 1934 and The New Challenge in 1937. New introduction by William H. Robinson. A title in "The American Negro, His History and Literature" series. A relatively early publication that called attention to West and surprisingly uncommon. 347 pp.
