Summary:

This book includes five plays written by Langston Hughes. From his plays it is evident that Hughes has more and more identified with and written about the black community in Harlem. This crowded section of New York City, its vitality and variety, is his favorite setting, though he was born in Joplin, Missouri, and grew up in three other states.
