The Conquest; the Story of a Negro Pioneer

"The Conquest; the Story of a Negro Pioneer" is a compelling narrative based loosely on the life of its author, Oscar Micheaux, one of the most important African American filmmakers and novelists of the early 20th century. The novel tells the story of a young Black man's arduous journey as he seeks to establish himself as a homesteader in the American West. Confronting racial prejudice and economic hardship, the protagonist demonstrates resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

Micheaux's semi-autobiographical work offers a valuable glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of African American pioneers during a period of significant social and political change. This edition allows contemporary readers to rediscover a powerful story of perseverance and the pursuit of the American Dream.
