Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes also wrote invaluable and beautiful prose. This collection of 14 short stories serve as a mirror, showing us an America of the 1920s one where the experiences of black folks reflect the ways of white folks. Sociologically important and emotionally gut-wrenching, The Ways of White Folks give us fictional stories of a reality of the past that informs the realities of today.
