DL Consignment. Shelved Case 1. Published in 1944, WHAT THE NEGRO WANTS is a collection of essays by prominent Black leaders who called for the end of racial segregation. The anthology was a manifesto against racial discrimination, which in part inspired the nascent Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. Rayford Logan, who edited and compiled these writings on the goals and desires of the Black community, was known as a Pan-African activist himself. His studies in the racial dynamics and realities of post-Reconstruction America rooted the writings of himself and his peers in a larger history of racial subjugation from which Black Americans sought freedom from. 1395628.

Inscribed by the author. This is sold with the vinyl pressing of Folkways Records with Langston Hughes reads from his book Simple Speaks his Mind and Sterling Brown reads from his Break of Day etal. First edition. Langston Hughes's stories about Jesse B. Semple--first composed for a weekly column in the Chicago Defender and then collected in Simple Speaks His Mind, Simple Takes a Wife, and Simple Stakes a Claim--have been read and loved by hundreds of thousands of readers. Simple might be considered an Everyman for black Americans. Hughes himself wrote: ".these tales are about a great many people--although they are stories about no specific persons as such. But it is impossible to live in Harlem and not know at least a hundred Simples, fifty Joyce's, twenty-five Zaritas, and several Cousin Minnies--or reasonable facsimiles thereof." Sterling Allen Brown (1901-1989) was a black professor, folklorist, poet and literary critic. He chiefly studied black culture of the Southern United States and was a full professor at Howard University for most of his career. He was a visiting professor at several other notable institutions, including Vassar College, New York University (NYU), Atlanta University, and Yale University. In 1932 Brown published his first book of poetry Southern Road. It was a collection of poems with rural themes and treated the simple lives of poor, black, country folk with extra poignancy and dignity. It also used authentic dialect and structures. Despite the success of this book, he struggled to find a publisher for the followup, No Hiding Place. Sterling Brown was most known for his authentic southern black dialect. His poetic work was influenced in content, form and cadence by African-American music, including work songs, blues and jazz. Like that of Jean Toomer, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes and other black writers of the period, his work often dealt with race and class in the United States. He was deeply interested in a folk-based culture, which he considered most authentic. Brown is considered part of the Harlem Renaissance artistic tradition, although he spent the majority of his life in the Brookland neighborhood of Northeast Washington, D.C.

Condition: Very good plus. First printing of this anthology of works by Black Americans, from the 18th-century poetry of Phillis Wheatley to the 20th-century essays of Alain Locke and much in between. Charles Blockson notes that, on its publication in 1941, THE NEGRO CARAVAN was "the most important single volume of Afro-American writing ever published" (58). Its three editors assembled some of the most influential pieces by Black Americans through the 1940s, including songs, plays, narratives of enslaved people, poetry, essays, folk literature and more. Each section is accompanied by a critical introduction contextualizing the pieces in their wider genres and in Black history. THE NEGRO CARAVAN represents a major early effort at defining a canon of Black literature; this is an unusually nice copy. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue cloth boards with gilt and black lettering.
