Condition: Very good plus. First Edition. First printing of this anthology of works by Black Americans, from the 18th-century poetry of Phillis Wheatley to the 20th-century essays of Alain Locke and much in between. Charles Blockson notes that, on its publication in 1941, THE NEGRO CARAVAN was "the most important single volume of Afro-American writing ever published" (58). Its three editors assembled some of the most influential pieces by Black Americans through the 1940s, including songs, plays, narratives of enslaved people, poetry, essays, folk literature and more. Each section is accompanied by a critical introduction contextualizing the pieces in their wider genres and in Black history. THE NEGRO CARAVAN represents a major early effort at defining a canon of Black literature; this is an unusually nice copy. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original blue cloth boards with gilt and black lettering.
