This work has several noteworthy structural elements. The first is its overall structure – specifically, its having been broken down into three parts, two of relatively equal length and a third that on first glance looks like an epilogue, but in actual fact contains the work’s climax. Each section is prologued with a quote from a noteworthy black American writer that metaphorically introduces the main ideas of the section that follows.
