Negritianskie rasskazy [Stories about Negroes]

Black Literature in the Soviet Union

This book contains five stories from Hughes’ books Not without Laughter and The Ways of White Folk. The commentators highlight the influence of Soviet writers like Maksim Gorky and Vladimir Mayakovsky on Hughes and provide a brief overview of the themes in Hughes’ work, but most of the commentary focuses on English grammar, especially the use of different verbal tenses
