Revisiting all the clues, another possibility is "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess, who is British, so that's not fitting. Given the clues, another strong possibility is "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, but that's before 1950. Another influential American novel that fits these criteria is "Native Son" by Richard Wright, but that's before 1950. One last possibility I haven't considered is "The Outsiders" by S.E.
