Description
"Black Man's Burden" by Mack Reynolds is a science fiction novel published in 1962. In a near-future North Africa, sociologist Dr. Homer Crawford leads an all-black team posing as itinerant smiths, secretly spreading Western ideals of equality and liberty among nomadic tribes.

When the Reunited Nations orders Crawford to find this mysterious El Hassan, the mission forces him to confront dangerous betrayals, assassination attempts, and a troubling question: who should El Hassan truly be?
