In the Prologue, the narrator - speaking to us from his underground hideout in the basement (coal cellar) of a whites-only apartment building - reminisces about his life as an invisible man. during the pre-Civil Rights era when segregation laws barred black Americans from enjoying the same basic human rights as their white counterparts, the novel opens in the South (Greenwood, South Carolina), although the majority of the action takes place in the North (Harlem, New York).

Invisible Man is the story of a young, college-educated black man struggling to survive and succeed in a racially divided society that refuses to see him as a human being. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Scholars believe, and we concur, that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced, and made generally available to the public.

Leenaert has a real strategy to quicken the liberation of our non-human friends. Honestly, I particularly don't care if our vegan clique is better than everyone else's if it's so busy patting itself on the back that its accomplishments move at a snail's pace. I lost my belief that my clique is better than your clique soon after high school, but many vegans want to hold on to that belief.
