Although he is generally recognized for his accomplishments as the longtime leader of the NAACP, White also wrote several novels during the Harlem Renaissance exploring the themes of Alain Locke's New Negro Movement. Praised by W. E. B. Du Bois in \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e and by Konrad Bercovici in \u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fire in the Flint\u003c\/i\u003e remains an invaluable testament to the power of fiction to address political matters. Dr. Kenneth Harper finds it difficult to overcome the deep inequities of life in the American South. Born and raised in Georgia, he returns to his hometown following his graduation from medical school and service in the First World War. Determined to open a clinic for his friends and neighbors, he avoids confrontation with white townspeople and focuses on the task at hand. Soon, however, he encounters opposition from neighbors who regard his success and intelligence as a threat to their power. Eventually, Harper is forced to lay his life on the line by opposing the Ku Klux Klan. \u003ci\u003eThe Fire in the Flint\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful bildungsroman grounded in truth and moral decency. Praised by Nobel Laureate Sinclair Lewis upon publication, White's novel is a largely forgotten masterpiece of the Harlem Renaissance, perhaps the finest decade for art in the history of American culture. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Walter Francis White's \u003ci\u003eThe Fire in the Flint\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite being a medical professional and a veteran of the First World War, Dr. Kenneth Harper finds it difficult to overcome the deep inequities of life in the American South.
