Description
Langston Hughes' Not Without Laughter tells the story of Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy growing up in a small Kansas town. Set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century, this novel explores the longings and lineaments of black life in America during a time of racial division. Through the characters of Sandy's family - his mother, Annjee; his father, Jimboy; his grandmother Hager; his Aunt Tempy; and his Aunt Harriet - Hughes gives insight into the struggles and triumphs of African American life. This Penguin Classic represents a significant work in the history of American literature, offering a powerful portrayal of a community's experiences. First published in 1930, Not Without Laughter has been re-released by Penguin to introduce this important novel to new readers.
