description: This study sees HUGHES of the USA, GUILLEN of CUBA,and ROUMAIN of HAITI, as sophisticated users of oral expression of African origin in a literature needing to express a beleaguered people and to strengthen if for survival. They forged a formal esthetic whose thematic and rhythmical origins,combined with American experiences,would not only provide authentic models to later Afro-American writers but would be original and refreshing contributions to American, Spanish and French language literatures. Knowing each other personally as they did, being concerned with each other's cultures and languages, and accepting their role as pioneers, Hughes, Guillen and Roumain have long called for the comparative treatment found in HARLEM, HAITI, AND HAVANA.Very rare study of Langston Hughes, Jacques Roumain &amp; Nicolas Guillen.
