Publisher's Synopsis

The New York Times praised Communist Party reporter John L. Spivak's shocking 1932 novel Georgia Nigger as having ""the weight and authority of a sociological investigation"". This Southern Classics edition makes Spivak's narrative available to modern readers, augmented with a new introduction by David A. Davis as well as additional documents Spivak gathered during his investigation into the abuses of the Depression-era Southern prison system.
