A Great Anthology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Over ten years ago, I took a course with Professor Barksdale, who at at the time was a traveling professor. The verison of this anthology that I have has Kinnamon as the co-editor/writer. What is extremely impressive about this collection is its variety; in addition to the standard fare of literature anthologies, poetry and fiction, this collection contains early blues lyrics and folk songs. Most of all, this collection is worthwhile due to the introductions to each author which are incredibly extensive, not just a few paragraphs like what one might see in a Norton, but pages of biography and background that set each work in a clear context and establishes a cohesive progression of the Black Writers of America.
