In an ambitious reappraisal of Langston Hughes's work and legacy,
Ryan James Kernan reads Hughes's political poetry in the context of
his practice of translation to reveal an important meditation on
diaspora. Drawing on heretofore unearthed archival evidence, Kernan
shows how Hughes mined his engagements with the poetics of Louis
Aragon, Nicolas Guillen, Regino Pedroso, Vladimir Mayakovsky,
Federico Garcia Lorca, and Leopold Sedar Senghor, as well as
translations of his own poetry, to fashion a radical poetics that
engaged Black left internationalist concerns. As he follows Hughes
from Harlem to Havana, Moscow, Madrid, and finally to Dakar, Kernan
reveals how the writer's identity and aesthetic were translated
within these leftist geographies and metropoles, by others but also
collaboratively. As Kernan argues, we cannot know Hughes without
knowing him in translation. Through original research and close
readings alert to the foreign prosody underlying Hughes's work, New
World Maker recuperates his political writing, which had been
widely maligned by Cold War detractors and adherents of New
Criticism, and affirms his place as a progenitor of African
diasporic literature and within the pantheon of US modernists.
Demonstrating the integral part translation played in Hughes's
creative process, this book challenges a number of common
assumptions about this canonical thinker and offers important
insights for scholars of African diasporic literature, comparative
literature, and American, Caribbean, and translation studies.
