Inferno Of Justice: Burn Down The Master’s House, featuring Clay Cane with Andy Shallal

True justice isn’t found in fixing broken systems; it’s about complete restructuring. Referencing Audre Lorde’s quote, “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” Deemed bold, brutal, and unflinching, Burn Down Master’s House by Clay Cane is a work of historical fiction about enslaved people who fought back against unimaginable cruelty. Ibram X. Kendi calls it “a resistance story for the ages .” A powerful tale, “Yes, this book will make you uncomfortable, but discomfort is the extravagant price of truth,” says Cane, whose work challenges the way history has been written, falsified, or erased, and how collective opposition is possible. “With shades of Kindred , James , and The Prophets , this story belongs to a long tradition of resistance that traces back to 1526,” writes Keith Boykin, “when enslaved Africans burned down their captors’ settlement in what is now South Carolina.” What one reader shared about this fascinating debut work: “A MUST READ …I can’t emphasize enough. It’s four short stories inspired by real-life enslaved people who dared to fight back … the characters are incredible. I’m going to think about this the rest of my life.”
