Anyplace But Here Volume 1 by Arna Bontemps

Originally published in 1945 as They seek a city, this book was revised and expanded in 1966 to include chapters on Marcus Garvey, the Black Muslims, Malcolm X, and the racial disturbances in Detriot, Chicago and Watts. It is detailed with stories of African-Americans searching for a home.

Jack Conroy (1898-1990) was a Missouri-born writer who founded The Anvil, a Depression-era proletarian magazine famous for launching the careers of such writers as Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and William Carlos Williams.

Douglas Wixson is Associate Professor of English at the University of Missouri-Rolla. He edited The Weed King and Other Stories by Jack Conroy and is Jack Conroy's literary executor.
