- Summary:
- Award winning playwright Greer presents this engaging portrait of one of the most influential and controversial African American writers of the twentieth century, Langston Hughes. Hughes was considered to be the African American Walt Whitman, writing about the down and out state of the working class Blacks in America and their unrelenting spirit. This book tells the story of Hughes' life, his work, and his impact on American culture. Also a celebration of African American history and the Harlem Renaissance, the work appeals to those with an interest in American history and literature. Distributed by Dufour.
