Contending forces : a romance illustrative of Negro life North and South
Hopkins tells her share of horror stories: a white man who would free his slaves is summarily shot, his wife bound to a post and whipped; black field hands serve sadistic bosses; even two generations later, black women are ravished and black men lynched, usually for a supposed rape.
