It includes discussion of: authors - from James Baldwin to Toni Morrison to Richard Wright; masterworks - from "I Know Why the Cages Bird Sings" to "Native Son" to "The Colour Purple"; literary styles - from surrealism to modernism to primitivism; movements that affected literature - from segregation and apartheid to civil rights; and descriptive details on spirituals, the Underground Railroad, the Harlem Rennaisance and other topics.
