520    "Appointed is a recently recovered novel written by 
       William Anderson and Walter Stowers, two of the editors of
       the Detroit Plaindealer, a long-running and well-regarded 
       African American newspaper of the late nineteenth century.
       Drawing heavily on nineteenth-century print culture, the 
       authors tell the story of John Saunders, a college-
       educated black man living and working in Detroit. Through 
       a bizarre set of circumstances, Saunders befriends his 
       white employer's son, Seth Stanley, and the two men form a
       lasting, cross-racial bond that leads them to travel 
       together to the American South. On their journey, John 
       shows Seth the harsh realities of American racism and 
       instructs him in how he might take responsibility for 
       alleviating the effects of racism in his own home and in 
       the white world broadly. As a coauthored novel of 
       frustrated ambition, cross-racial friendship, and the 
       tragedy of lynching, Appointed represents a unique 
       contribution to African American literary history. This is
       the first scholarly edition of Appointed, and it includes 
       a collection of writings from the Plaindealer, the 
       authors' short story 'A Strange Freak of Fate, ' and an 
       introduction that locates Appointed and its authors within
       the journalistic and literary currents of the United 
       States in the late nineteenth century"--|cProvided by
