"For someone sitting down with, "The Ways of White Folks," for the first time, it is important to note Langston Hughes received his copyright for this collection of short stories in 1933. By now someone might think, "I've read lots of stories like these," or, "I've read books about this," or, "I saw a couple of these things in movies." Langston Hughes was there before all of this. Langston Hughes was near the head of the line. It is possible to imagine the wallop of these writings in America where there still were lynchings, in America where Hughes' themes, his fearful accounts, his satire, his tickles could be found reflected in daily events all across the land. We don't know the degree of change through the passing of three-quarters of a century but there is change."
"This is a really well-styled perspective, and is remarkably subtle compared to the Af-Am lit they had me read in high school. As a poet, Hughes is used to chopped sentences that stop short of the point----sometimes. (Sometimes with a sad resignation, sometimes with a touch of smart-aleckness or know-betterness.) He's got a developed sense of aesthetics that Richard Wright just didn't possess, for example, and like the jazz music his poetry eventually became known to resemble, Hughes and his narrators can be both enthusiastic and bitterly cool towards both their immediate and greater audience."
"This collection of short stories brilliantly explores the issue of racism in 1930s America (and the relative lack of it in Europe). In there stories, the racism ranges from outright violence to the negative messages that stem from good intentions. All of the stories are told with wonderful detail and humanity."
