Black Writing from Chicago: In the World, Not of It? takes readers on a cultural trip through Chicago's literary history. Editor Richard R. Guzman (Professor of English Emeritus) compiles the first comprehensive collection of the works of Chicago's black writers from 1861 to the present day. The anthology, which includes works from newspaper writing, poetry, fiction, drama, essays, and historical and social commentary, seeks not only to represent a broad range of writings but also to focus tightly on such themes as hope and despair, racism and equality, spirituality and religion.
