Langston Hughes was among the most influential African American
writers of the twentieth century. He inspired and challenged
readers from Harlem to the Caribbean, Europe, South America, Asia,
the African continent, and beyond. To study Langston Hughes is to
develop a new sense of the twentieth century. He was more than a
man of his times; emerging as a key member of the Harlem
Renaissance, his poems, plays, journalism, translations, and prose
fiction documented and shaped the world around him. The twenty-nine
essays in this volume engage with his at times conflicting
investments in populist and modernist literature, his investments
in freedom in and beyond the US, and the many genres through which
he wrote. Langston Hughes in Context considers the places and
experiences that shaped him, the social and cultural contexts in
which he wrote, thought and travelled, and the international
networks that forged and secured his life and reputation.
