"Thomas Dixon's novel, The Flaming Sword (1939), is a scathing response to the ideas of the great black intellectual W.E.B. DuBois and to contemporary racial and international tensions. In the novel, Dixon portrays the doom of twentieth-century America as the result of a joint conspiracy by African Americans and Communists." "The Flaming Sword is not only a diatribe against communism, but is also Dixon's clarion call for the repatriation of African Americans. The story ignites when a sex-crazed black man named Dan Hose savagely murders a white man and his infant son; he then rapes and murders the man's sister-in-law (ostensibly after having read a James Weldon Johnson poem). The novel concludes with an urban uprising and a biting caricature and denunciation of DuBois." "Dixon's novel begins in a pastoral mode but moves quickly into a fast-paced melodrama. The Flaming Sword is a dramatic and provocative fictional treatment of the politics and history of race formation - the racial fantasies of one of America's most notorious white supremacists."--BOOK JACKET.
