{"product_id":"black-american-short-stories","title":"Black American Short Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe success of John Henrik Clarke's \u003ci\u003eAmerican Negro Short Stories, \u003c\/i\u003efirst published in 1966, affirmed the vitality and importance of black fiction. Now this expanded edition of that best-selling book, with a new title, offers the reader thirty-one stories included in the original--from Charles W. Chesnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar in the late nineteenth century to the rich and productive work of the Harlem Renaissance: writers like Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Richard Wright; the World War II accomplishments of Chester Himes, Frank Yerby, and many others; and the later fiction of James Baldwin, Paule Marshall, and LeRoi Jones (Imamu Amiri Baraka). Seven additional contributions round out a century of great stories with the work of Maya Angelou, Toni Cade Bambara, Eugenia Collier, Jennifer Jordan, James Allan McPherson, Rosemarie Robotham, and Alice Walker. Dr. Clarke has included a new introduction to this 1993 edition, and a short biography of each contributor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hill \u0026 Wang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67709043769443,"sku":"9780374523541","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/7515\/0179\/files\/imageloader_dbcc3f75-3f4d-4fc6-b0bb-0a7ff0271dd7.jpg?v=1791984227","url":"https:\/\/redricebooks.com\/products\/black-american-short-stories","provider":"Red Rice Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
