{"product_id":"9781590178089","title":"Blood on the Forge","description":"This  brutally gripping novel about the African-American Great Migration  follows the  three Moss brothers, who flee the rural South to work in  industries up North. Delivered  by day into the searing inferno of the  steel mills, by night they encounter a world  of surreal devastation,  crowded with dogfighters, whores, cripples, strikers, and  scabs. Keenly  sensitive to character, prophetic in its depiction of environmental   degradation and globalized labor, Attaway's novel is an unprecedneted  confrontation  with the realities of American life, offering an  apocalyptic vision of the melting  pot not as an icon of hope but as an  instrument of destruction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlood on the Forge\u003c\/i\u003e was  first published in 1941, when it attracted the admiring attention of  Richard  Wright and Ralph Ellison. It is an indispensable account of a  major turning point  in black history, as well as a triumph of  individual style, charged with the concentrated  power and poignance of  the blues.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157155594480,"sku":"9781590178089","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590178089_p0.jpg?v=1763804504","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590178089","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
