Back when he was an arc welder, longtime labor activist Bill Fletcher Jr fell 20 feet on the job; his second novel, The Man Who Changed Colors, imagines the story of another worker who didn’t survive the fall, exploring the complicated relationships between Cape Verdean Americans and African Americans, Portuguese fascist gangs, and abusive shipyard working conditions on Cape Cod.
Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Kahlia Chapman.
