I don't really know any African American writers, but I have read Native Son by Richard Wright and it's amazing.

Oddly adequate, i do not study many African American author's works. It basically bothers me that on the bookstall they have the African American fiction separated from all the different fiction. i imagine they might want to all be mixed mutually. Why convey interest to the actual reality the author takes position to be African American. isn't sturdy adequate that they are an author. yet a singular that I do appreciate by potential of an author that takes position to be black is Invisible guy by potential of Ralph Ellison.

I'm not sure if have a favorite but I like a poem by Hughton Langs. I can't remember the name of it. It's about hanging out in a pool hall. It's really good.
