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. 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.
