Works by Langston Hughes Reprinted here are four works by Langston Hughes: "Cora Unashamed" and two other short stories from The Ways of White Folks, and the poem "I, Too." Cora Unashamed Then Spring came in full bloom, and the fields and orchards at the edge of Melton stretched green and beautiful to the far horizon. Cora remembered her own Spring, twenty years ago, and a great sympathy and pain welled up in her heart for Jessie, who was the same age that Josephine would have been, had she lived... The Blues I'm Playing Was it in keeping with genius, she wondered, for Oceola to have a studio full of white and colored people every Saturday night (some of them actually drinking gin from bottles ) and dancing to the most tomtom-like music she had ever heard coming out of a grand piano? She wished she could lift Oceola up bodily and take her away from all that, for art's sake... Father and Son The Colonel raved. A car shot down the road. The Colonel rushed out, brandishing a cane to stop it. It was Bert. He paid no attention to the old man standing on the steps of the pillared porch waving his stick. Ashen with fury, the Colonel came back into the house and fumbled with his keys at an old chest. Finally, a drawer opened and he took out a pistol.... I, Too

Langston Hughes entered the Lawrence Public Schools during his second grade year after spending the first grade in Topeka where his mother was then employed. Within Pinckney all black children at the primary level were taught in a separate room by a black teacher. The present building, 1930, replaced the former Pinckney school which was nearer the street. Pinckney School re-named its library the Langston Hughes Library for Children in 1991. 731 New York Street Site of the James and Mary Reed home.

45. Langston Hughes, Althea Verlag Zuerich, Psychoanalyse Der Band mit Gedichten im englischen Original und in deutscher œbersetzung wird vorgestellt und rezensiert. http://www.althea.ch/Hughes.htm

ISBN 3-905045-28-1 Langston Hughes Ein amerikanischer Dichter, der den Dornenweg der Politik ging Lyrik in englischer Sprache und in deutscher Nachdichtung herausgegeben von Norman Elrod. 880 Seiten, gebunden, 22,5x15 cm Preis: Sfr. 46.50, EU 31.- Althea Verlag Zürich zu den Rezensionen ... Kein Zweifel, dieser Mann Langston Hughes war ein bedeutender Poet und schrieb so, dass auch einfache, ungeschulte Menschen ihn verstehen konnten und können. Einigen Leserinnen und Lesern wird es vielleicht auffallen, dass der Herausgeber nicht über Hughes als "schwarzen Dichter" oder als "afroamerikanischen Lyriker" schreibt. Für ihn ist Hughes ein Mensch wie er selbst gewesen, nur eben schwarzhäutig und somit gezwungen, in einer Welt zu leben, die nicht seine war und ist; das verhielte sich natürlich nicht anders, wäre der Dichter rot-, gelb- oder braunhäutig gewesen. Diese Tatsache spielt eine Rolle in den Bildtexten. Für den Herausgeber, der sie für diesen Band geschrieben hat, zählt allein, was ein Mensch mit seiner besonderen Hautfarbe ist, tut und will sein Charakter. Max Frisch ist im vorliegenden Buch mit einem Aufsatz über die Lage der Farbigen und ihr Verhältnis zu den Weissen vertreten, so, wie er beides in der Zeit erlebte, die er in den USA verbrachte ... Er wirkte als Schriftsteller und Politiker in der Schweiz in mancher Hinsicht ähnlich wie Hughes in den USA. Beide liessen sich nicht vom Druck der öffentlichen Meinung zum Schweigen bringen und vertraten tapfer ihre Ansichten. Die Sprache und die Macht, die sie ausübt, Bedeutung und Kraft des Worts standen bei beiden im Zentrum ihres Lebens. Es ist nicht erstaunlich, dass sich Frisch am Ende seines Aufsatzes auf Hughes beruft.

FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors Langston Hughes (1902-1967) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: Langston Hughes (1902-1967) Index One of many talented poets of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in the company of James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, and others was Langston Hughes. He embraced African- American jazz rhythms and was one of the first black writers to attempt to make a profitable career out of his writing. Hughes incorporated blues, spirituals, colloquial speech, and folkways in his poetry. An influential cultural organizer, Hughes published numerous black anthologies and began black theater groups in Los Angeles and Chicago, as well as New York City. He also wrote effective journalism, creating the character Jesse B. Semple ("simple") to express social commentary. One of his most beloved poems, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" (1921, 1925), embraces his African and universal heritage in a grand epic catalogue. The poem suggests that, like the great rivers of the world, African culture will endure and deepen: I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.

Women's History Month Langston Hughes Writer, editor, lecturer Langston Hughes achieved fame as a poet during the burgeoning of the arts known as the Harlem Renaissance, but those who label him "a Harlem Renaissance poet" have restricted his fame to only one genre and decade. In addition to his work as a poet, Hughes was a novelist, columnist, playwright, and essayist, and though he is most closely associated with Harlem, his world travels influenced his writing in a profound way. Langston Hughes followed the example of Paul Laurence Dunbar, one of his early poetic influences, to become the second African American to earn a living as a writer. His long and distinguished career produced volumes of diverse genres and inspired the work of countless other African American writers. Although his youth was marked with transition, Hughes extracted meaning from the places and people whence he came. The search for employment led his mother and step-father, Homer Clark, to move several times. Hughes moved often between the households of his grandmother, his mother, and other surrogate parents. One of his essays claims that he has slept in "Ten Thousand Beds." Growing up in the Midwest (Lawrence, Kansas; Topeka, Kansas; Lincoln, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio), young Hughes learned the blues and spirituals. He would subsequently weave these musical elements into his own poetry and fiction.

Langston Hughes Langston Hughes is regarded as one of the most significant American authors of the twentieth century. Foremost a poet, he was the first African-American to earn a living solely from his writings after he became established. Over a forty-year career beginning in the 1920s until his death in 1967, Hughes produced poetry, plays, novels, and a variety of nonfiction. He is perhaps best known for his creation of the fictional character, Jesse B. Semple, which first appeared in a Chicago Defender Although Hughes traveled extensively and later called New York City home, this biographical sketch focuses on his stay in Washington, D.C. from November to January . Black Washington’s middle class community experienced a literary rebirth during the 1920s. Eventually, some writers took their skills to Harlem, a section of New York City widely considered to be the "Mecca" of black culture in the 1920s. Hughes was born on February 1, 1902 in Joplin, Missouri, but grew up in Lawrence, Kansas. His parents separated shortly after his birth, because his father disliked racism and moved to Mexico. Hughes' grandmother raised him. As a teenager, he joined his mother in Cleveland after she had remarried. From through , Hughes visited his father in Mexico often.

Not So Simple The "Simple" Stories by Langston Hughes Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper "The fictional works of Langston Hughes have not yet received the scholarly attention they deserve. Harper's book will help to rectify this neglect. Harper traces the history of Hughes's short stories about Jesse B. Semple ("Simple"), published from 1943 to 1965, putting them into the context of their times and explaining the reasons for their long-standing appeal." Choice "In Not So Simple, Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper examines the character as he emerged in Hughes's columns, from the beginning to Semple's farewell in The New York Post in December 1965, by which time Semple was being decried by many as an anachronism that failed to reflect the growing complexity of black life in a turbulent time. . . . Ms. Harper . . . uses Hughes's own writings and other research material to place Jesse B. Semple against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America." New York Times Book Review "Harper . . . has written the definitive account of the birth and development of a wise commoner."
