Publisher's Synopsis
The Native Son is a novel written by Inez Haynes Irwin. The book is set in the early 20th century in the United States and tells the story of a young man named David Carr. David is a Native American who has grown up on a reservation, but he dreams of leaving his small town and making a life for himself in the city. As David navigates the challenges of leaving his community and adjusting to life in the city, he must also confront the racism and discrimination he faces as a Native American. The book explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle for equality in a society that is deeply divided.Through David's experiences, the novel offers a powerful critique of the injustices faced by Native Americans in the early 20th century, and the ways in which their communities were often marginalized and ignored by mainstream society.Overall, The Native Son is a moving and thought-provoking novel that offers a powerful commentary on the complex issues of race, identity, and inequality in America.For the Native Son has come from a State whose back yard is two hundred thousand square miles (more or less) of American continent and whose front yard is five hundred thousand square miles (less or more) or Pacific Ocean, whose back fence is ten thousand miles (or thereabouts) of bristling snow-capped mountains and whose front hedge is ten thousand miles (or approximately) of golden foam-topped combers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
