The paper should be based upon two books: the first novel by Chester Himes, “If He Hollers let Him Go”; the second is a narrative history and interpretation of the 1940s by Geroge Lipsitz, “Rainbow at Midnight: Labor and Culture in the 1940s.” In Rainbow at Midnight be sure to read chapters 1 and 3.
In the paper take an incident from the work life of Bob Jones, the fictional shipyard worker in “If He Hollers Let Him Go”, and explain how this episode in a big wartime workplace reflected the larger set of racial tensions, expectations, triumphs and disappointments experienced by African-Americans at work during World War 2. Connect events and emotions found in the novel to the larger set of racial developments- the protests, hate strikes, riots, and union conflicts – described by Lipsitz in “Rainbow at Midnight”. Footnote any dialogue you quote from the novel as well as any of the narrative or opinions offered by Lipsitz in historical account.
