Book Description
Excerpt from Plantation Echoes: A Collection of Original Negro Dialect Poems What is true of the melodies of the negro as developed in the simple existence on the plantation is also true of that other form of singing, verse-making. Among the negroes there have sprung up a number of exponents of the wisdom, wit and humor of the race. They have caught the spirit of others - the humble philosophers of their kind - and they have employed the dialect to reproduce the thought in all its quaintness and originality. One of the most notable of these exponents or interpreters is an Ohio negro, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, who has taken high rank among the poets of the day. Another is Elliott Blaine Henderson, also a son of Ohio, whose first volume of verse is herewith presented.

Book Description
In this wide-ranging study, Dickson D. Bruce. Jr., analyzes post-Reconstruction and turn-of-the-century black writing, treating minor as well as major authors and considering a broad range of genres. Bruce shows that black writers confronted the conditions of an increasingly racist society in almost every aspect of their work—from their choice of subject matter to the way they drew their characters to the mood they portrayed. At the same time, these writers, most of whom were members of a small but growing black professional class, displayed a concern for middle-class aspirations and values. Bruce underscores the significance of discerning the tensions between these opposing forces in studying the literature of the time. Bruce’s attention to the body of work produced by minor writers, most of whom have remained obscure to all but a few literary scholars and historians, adds an important dimension to our understanding of African-American history and literature. His discussion of such better-known writers as Charles W. Chesnutt, Paul Laurence Dunbar, James Weldon Johnson, and W. E. B. Du Bois places them in a fuller literary context, defining more clearly their significance as individuals. Black American Writing from the Nadir is an insightful, well-focused work that will benefit social and cultural historians as well as students of literature
