We continue with the Reading Club meetings to analyze and discuss different works of North American literature, in a new format and with a new facilitator.
After a prior individualized reading, the works will be discussed in groups on the day of the meeting. We have María Willstedt as moderator who will make a brief introduction, ask questions and encourage the conversation.
For the month of February, joining the celebration of “Black History Month”, we will focus on the story “Thank you, madam” by Langston Hughes.
They are available in Internet in Spanish but you can also read in any of the editions published in paper.
“Langston Hughes was an African-American poet, novelist, and playwright who became one of the leading interpreters of race relations in the United States from the 1920s to the 1960s. Hughes had one of the leading voices in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. His poems encompassed radical politics, poverty, prejudice, violence, and a host of other socioeconomic themes that chronicled the African-American experience. Hughes wrote children's stories, nonfiction, and numerous works for the stage. Hughes published more than 35 books and his influence is seen in the writings of authors from his generation to the present.”
