The Homesteader: A Novel is a book written by Oscar Micheaux and published in 1917. The novel revolves around the life of a young African American man named Jean Baptiste, who leaves his hometown in Illinois to start a new life in the West. He settles in South Dakota and becomes a homesteader, working hard to establish a successful farm and provide for his family.However, Jean's life takes a dramatic turn when he falls in love with a white woman named Daisy, who is already engaged to a wealthy white man. Their love affair is met with hostility from the local community, and Jean is forced to confront the racial prejudices and discrimination that exist in the West.The Homesteader: A Novel is a powerful and thought-provoking book that explores themes of identity, race, and love in a time of great social upheaval.
