The Conquest

by Oscar MICHEAUX (1884 - 1951)

The Survival of the Fittest

"This is the true story of a negro who was discontented and the circumstances that were the outcome of that discontent." While considered a novel, this largely autobiographical story is based on the author's experience as an African-American pioneer in South Dakota. (Summary by MaryAnn)
