{"product_id":"black-mans-burden-mack-reynolds-9781483702001","title":"Black Man's Burden","description":"Black Man's Burden is a science-fiction novella and the first in a series of near-future stories set in North Africa. The series has been called a notable exception to the indirect treatment of racial issues in 1960s science fiction. In Black Man's Burden, the tradition of white imperial benevolence is initially subverted by having black-only field workers foment economic and technological progress in the underdeveloped regions of North Africa. It is later promoted by Homer Crawford's decision to become El Hassan and engage in nation-building rather than continuing the imperial interests of the West. This series includes Black Man's Burden, Border, Breed nor Birth, Black Sheep Astray, and The Best Ye Breed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mack Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1483702006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781483702001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Spastic Cat Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Mack Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485364039935,"sku":"9781483702001","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b922412e-5bbc-423c-94d0-d3d75bcd93e7.jpg?v=1778049306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-mans-burden-mack-reynolds-9781483702001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
