Notes:

"This book is a companion volume to 'Black Voices: An Anthology of Afro-American Literature,' not a revised edition or substitute. It begins where that book leaves off. It is a continuation into the present, an addition of new Black writing of the Sixties, especially the late Sixties, and early Seventies, to the rich and varied body of Afro-American writing which has evolved in the United States over a span of more than two centuries."--Introduction.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 589-606).
