The Panther and the Lash. Poems of Our Times.

_

---

Seventy poems offered by this important black American author, poet, essayist reflecting “various aspects of the racial turmoil that has rocked this country in the last decade.”

The DANB notes: “Hughes wrote many leftist poems, but he was never a Communist. In his protest poems Hughes is often ironic, but seldom bitter. Usually the objective observer, he seems surprised and saddened at America's stupidity and blind ness in its treatment of the Negro. Evidently Hughes felt that America did not improve sufficiently because he republished in his last work. The Panther and the Lash (1967), several of his earlier protest poems.”
