5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this book!,
By Kristy "Kristy" (Alabama) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Good Morning Revolution: Uncollected Writings of Social Protest (Paperback)
I remember studying Langston Hughes's poetry in high school and it was innocuous, Harlem-Renaissance-type poetry. However, this book highlights Hughes's political poetry and socialist essays, and gives readers a completely different perspective of one of the greatest poets of the 1900s. It also offers commentary from Hughes concerning the public backlash toward his poetry and his testimony in the McCarthy hearings. For anyone who wants to know the real Hughes, this book is a must-have. For those who are feeling particularly scholarly, go to the senate website and download the transcript from his testimony. Read together, the collection of poems and the testimony greatly illuminate the life of Langston Hughes.
