The work is innovative because of this synthesis. It (indirectly) denounces the living conditions of Afro-Americans in California and depicts the disillusionment of those who dreamed of an affluent society free of racism. In this sense, it expresses, although through a different medium, the same feelings found in Chester Himes’ early novels. “Call It Stormy Monday” convincingly exemplifies the use of the love metaphor in the rendering of social relations —a frequent occurrence in the popular songs of many countries.Cairn free access |
