Omschrijving
A chronological collection of interviews with, and speeches by, the writer Langston Hughes (1902-1967) who emerged during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and, over the course of a career that spanned nearly fifty years, gained international attention and acclaim in almost every genre of writing.
Hughes attracted newspaper coverage wherever he performed, and this compendious volume includes many telling mini-interviews and profiles from his four decades in the public eye.
The book will serve as a valuable resource to scholars seeking a new vantage point from which to reconsider Hughes's ideas on art, politics, and racial and economic justice.
Christopher C. De Santis is Professor of English at Illinois State University, where he served as Graduate Program Director from 2009-2013 and Chair of the Department of English from 2013-2022. He is editor of Langston Hughes: A Documentary Volume; Langston Hughes and the Chicago Defender: Essays on Race, Politics, and Culture, 1942-62; and two volumes in The Collected Works of Langston Hughes—Essays on Art, Race, Politics, and World Affairs and Fight for Freedom and Other Writings on Civil Rights. His work has also appeared in African American Review, American Studies, CLA Journal, Contemporary Literary Criticism, Langston Hughes Review, The Oxford Companion to African American Literature, The Southern Quarterly, and other publications.
