Publisher Description: Return of the Native Son is the story of Tony Jones, son of Antonio Jones, a Union Army officer who oversaw the Freedmen's Bureau in Beaufort, S.C., after the Civil War. Though his father is of mixed race and passes for white, Tony appears to be black. This makes little difference on St. Helena Island, which is predominately black, but creates problems when he goes off to Harvard. Eventually, he drops out of that august institution and tries his luck as an artist in Paris. |
