...year-old Negro from Detroit, who calls himself "a living contradiction, thinking black but not being black. If I take a white girl into a black community, they will figuratively, with their eyes, pull over to the side and say, 'Brother, get hip. You're living a lie. Come over to the winning side, your side.' " He is not yet ready to stop dating whites. "Maybe next year," he says...

It is particularly difficult in this case, since there is actually very little known about Turner himself or the rebellion. But since the ultimate sources of characterizations and events in fiction lie deep in the creative unconscious, such arguments, even if historically true, border on irrelevancy. The essayists, led by John Henrik Clarke, an editor of the militant Negro magazine Freedomways, repeat the same points endlessly and separately, but this does not necessarily validate them. Nor does a reprinting of the full...
