ASSIGNMENT ON God's Bits of Wood - "CLASS"

The ideology of unity is an important theme in this novel. A discussion of   passages in which it plays a central role will help us see how it functions in the novel.

Please look through the novel, and find THREE passages -- three paragraphs will be fine -- in which the strikers, or some group of them, express the need for, or the advantages of, unity.

You can consider various kinds of unity: among the strikers themselves; between the women and the strikers; among the women themselves.

One of the most important kinds of unity in this novel is class unity -- the unity of the African workers as workers, overcoming the divisions of ethnicity and gender.
