Summary | "The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States" by Benjamin Griffith Brawley is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the contributions of African Americans to literature and the arts, emphasizing their artistic and cultural achievements while facing societal challenges. Brawley's analysis offers a broader understanding of how the Negro has influenced American civilization, particularly in aesthetics. At the start of the text, the author states the purpose of the book: to provide a thorough examination of the accomplishments of African Americans in literature and art, striving to evaluate their contributions by absolute standards. Brawley outlines the rich artistic heritage of the Negro, noting that many have expressed their genius through various forms of art despite limited opportunities.
