The Ways of White Folks

Stories

By: Langston Hughes

Narrated by: J. D. Jackson

A collection of vibrant and incisive short stories depicting the sometimes humorous, but more often tragic interactions between Black people and white people in America in the 1920s and ‘30s.

One of the most important writers to emerge from the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes may be best known as a poet, but these stories showcase his talent as a lively storyteller. His work blends elements of blues and jazz, speech and song, into a triumphant and wholly original idiom.

• Rejuvenation Through Joy

This audio title is masterfully narrated by award-winning narrator and actor, J.D. Jackson.
