"Native" is a powerful and provocative book by African-American author Tim D. Hamm. The novel tells the story of a young man named Biggs, who finds himself in the brutal scope of cultural and social restrictions and racial prejudice in 1930s America. A sense of alienation and hopelessness leads Biggs to acts that cross the boundaries of the law and exacerbate his dire situation even more. The book is a powerful and profound portrait of racial issues and inequalities that dominate society and the psychology of the hero. "Native" has become a classic work of American literature, which should be read by anyone interested in the problems of racism, justice, and the deep conflicts of human nature.
