Sterling A. Brown's A Negro Looks at the South (Hardcover, New)

Using oral history and the printed word, Sterling A. Brown set out
during the Second World War to capture the response of African
Americans, primarily living in the South, to America's involvement
in the war and how it affected them. These responses, brought
together in extended, non-fiction essays of many different types,
illustrate the diversity of opinions in the Black South about the
war and the war period in America. For nearly sixty years, the
excerpts that were never published languished in Brown's manuscript
collection at Howard University. Now, for the first time, all of
the completed pieces of unpublished writings are combined with the
few published sections into the book that Brown envisioned. The
legacy Brown left us is not only a superb portrait of the way in
which African Americans of the mid-century talked and lived; he
also provided a methodology that oral and written historians will
find extremely useful. This is clearly a document from another
time, as its now outdated title reminds us, but it reveals a world
that still informs our sense of ourselves as a nation. In fact, it
is an unforgettable history, which Brown has cast in a bright,
elucidating new light.
