'Why did I want to mix mahself up in a white folk's war? It ain't ever was any of black folks' affair'
When Jake Brown joins the army during the First World War, he is treated more like a slave than a soldier.

But despite the distance, Jake cannot seem to escape the past and the explosive ways in which it can culminate.
Written with brutal accuracy, Home to Harlem is an extraordinary work, and was the first American bestseller by a Black writer.
