Before answering the question, it is convenient to mention that James Baldwin was a Black writer in the decade of the 50s and even though there were other Negro Writers in the literary world, they all suffered from racisms and social prosecution, the novel “Notes of a native Son” is close to an autobiography assembled from essays James Baldwin had written. In the novel the author intends to depict the hatred black people had to suffer at that time.

The figurative device that Baldwin uses to emphasize the rage buried beneath his father's outward appearance and actions is:

The paradox “vindictively polite.”

Here the word "vindictive" is expressing the inner rage that was beneath his father outward appearance, and the word "polite" expresses the overt emotions or actions.

The Saxons on the other hand settled in the South and grabbed the best land possibly because they were the first to invade, though it is said by the historian Bede that they were invited by the Romanized British as mercenaries to help in keeping the Irish pirates and Scottish Pict's under control. The Saxon tribes occupied the modern counties of Wessex (West Saxons), Essex (East Saxons) and Sussex (South Saxons). We shall throw in Kent, one of the most pleasant and fertile of the English counties. The Romans would have this land in the South under much cultivation and habitation. Britain was a melting pot of different tribes at this time fighting for possession of the land. The Anglo Saxon tribes were a fierce warlike people who refused to become subject to Roman control</span>
