HUGHES LANGSTON THE WAYS OF WHITE FOLKS

THE CELEBRATED SHORT STORY COLLECTION FROM THE AMERICAN POET AND WRITER OFTEN CALLED THE 'POET
LAUREATE OF HARLEM'   A black maid forms a close bond with the daughter of the cruel white
couple for whom she works. Two rich  white artists hire a black model to pose as a slave. A
white-passing boy ignores his mother when they cross each other on the street.  Written with
sardonic wit and a keen eye for the absurdly unjust  these fourteen stories about racial
tensions are as relevant today as the day they were penned  and linger in the mind long after
the final page is turned.  'Powerful  polemical pieces' New York Times   'Some of the best
stories that have appeared in this country in years' North American Review
