<Li> The Conjure Man Dies (1932) </Li> <P> "the City of Refuge" and another short story, "Vestiges", were included in Alain Locke's anthology, The New Negro: An Interpretation . </P> <P> Rudolph Fisher's story "City of Refuge" is centered around a Southern black man named King Solomon Gillis and his migration to Harlem, New York from North Carolina to escape lynching . Gillis is amazed by the opportunity and freedom he sees when he first arrives in Harlem . Gillis meets a man named Uggam who helps him settle into Harlem and gets him a "job". Fisher presents the idea of a migrant's adjustment to the city during "Negro Harlem" and the race relations along the way . The story concludes with Gillis being duped by Uggam into selling "medicine" (drugs) for him and gets ratted on, leading him to be arrested . </P> <P> An interpretation of the themes explored in this short story is similar to what is found in Alain Locke's anthology, The New Negro: transformation and self - expression . In comparison, Gillis transitions by the end of the story because when he first arrives in Harlem, "city of refuge", Gillis sees Harlem as a place of hope and freedom . He wanted to have the chance to achieve liberation and be set free from social and political restrictions from the place he originally came from . Instead, Gillis' experience with Harlem mirrors the South during the time as the beliefs of race and status fill the assumptions that the people of the city contain . </P>
