Produced by Suzanne Shell, Victoria Woosley and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Hindered Hand: or, The Reign of the Repressionist" by Sutton E. Griggs is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of racial tension, identity, and societal norms through the eyes of its characters, primarily focusing on figures within the African American community during a time of significant social change. The narrative likely follows the struggles and interactions of characters as they confront the harsh realities of their world, particularly against the backdrop of a racially divided society. The opening of the story introduces a young white woman on a train heading to Almaville who attempts to make contact with a Negro porter. Through a note, she expresses a need for help, which is met with apprehension from the porter due to the severe social repercussions that could arise from interracial interactions. As tensions build, a male passenger named Ensal Ellwood asserts the rights of the black passengers when two white men attempt to intrude into their designated space. The young woman's subsequent actions lead her to cross the racial divide, culminating in an emotional connection with a Negro girl named Foresta. Their relationship hints at a deeper theme of solidarity and shared struggles amidst the societal restrictions that define their lives. Thus, the beginning sets the stage for a complex exploration of race, identity, and the fight against repression.
