An Old School Reading List
Dr. Spence has been producing rather prodigiously over at Vision Circle, putting me to shame a bit. Today, he has batted one out of the park by producing a list of core texts. It's something that's needed. I'll put a few here but you should really take note of his list of Basics.
Cobb's Old School Classics (abridged)
- Captain Blackman - John A. Williams
- Integrity - Stephen A. Carter
- Cane - Jean Toomer
- A Gathering of Old Men - Ernest Gaines
- Drylongso -John Langston Gwaltney
- The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man - James Weldon Johnson
- The Man Who Lived Underground - Richard Wright
- A Raisin in the Sun - Lorraine Hansberry
- In Search of Our Mother's Gardens - Alice Walker
I feel a little bit sheepish about going through a big list of books because I know what kinds of arguments such things bring forth. I can hardly be unbiased in such matters because my level of critical evaluation of these works is not comparitive. So I'll just say these ought to be in your library. Which reminds me that I should do my next bookshelf.
