Description:
During World War I Jake Brown deserts the army to pursue his loves and adventures in Harlem, where he carries out his own personal battles against the black bourgeoisie and their white counterparts. The white man's war is no place for a black man, he argues, concluding that black folk are so little driven by greed and less hampered by sexual inhibitions, that they don't need to go to war. Unfortunately for Jake, Uncle Sam doesn't care too much for his views on life, he needs some cannon fodder fast. Jake fits the bill perfectly. Home To Harlem is a comic-tragic novel of a little guy standing up to the big guy and winning while losing.
