description: The restored text established by the Library of AmericaThe Library of America has insured that most of Wright's major texts are now available as he wanted them to be read - Alfred Kazin, New York Times Book Review"We have an opportunity to assess Wright's formidable and lasting contribution to American literature. But this time we have texts intended as the author originally wished them to be read. The works that millions know are, as it turns out, expurgated and abbreviated versions of what Wright submitted for publication. By returning to typescripts, galleys, page proofs, the editors have restored deletions and changes demanded by Wright's publisher...They have returned to the 1970 second printing of Uncle Tom's Children&gt;/i&gt; which included one additional story, Bright and Morning Star, and The Ethics of Jim Crow, thus offering us all the selections Wright wished the collection to have." - Charles Johnson, Chicago TribuneThe ethics of living Jim Crow --Big boy leaves home --Down by the riverside --Long black song --Fire and cloud --Bright and morning starCover Illustration: David Diaz
