The Negro In Contemporary American Literature [Paperback]

Only by isolating the particular material about the Afro-American from the body of American literature can we come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of his place in our national life. This volume presents an outline of the literature concerning blacks--drama, fiction, criticism, and verse--whether written by them or about them. Originally published in 1928.
