<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In writing his <em>Self-Portrait of Black America</em>, anthropologist, folklorist, and humanist John Gwaltney went in search of Core Black People--the ordinary men and women who make up black America--and asked them to define their culture. Their responses, recorded in <em>Drylongso</em>, are to American oral history what blues and jazz are to American music. If the people in William H. Johnson's and Jacob Lawrence's paintings could talk, this is what they would say.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Powerful, eloquent, and--I hope--disturbing. --Studs Terkel <p/>This book is terrifying and illuminating. Not since the nineteenth-century slave narratives have so many black Americans told such truths to white America. --Maya Angelou<br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Langston Gwaltney was a student of Dr. Margaret Mead, before becoming a Professor of Anthropology.
