Treasured African American Christmas Stories
This enchanting collection of 22 Christmas stories, originally published in African American newspapers, periodicals, and journals between 1880 and 1953, is a testament to the flourishing black literary tradition that emerged in the aftermath of the Civil War. Edited and assembled by esteemed historian Dr. Bettye Collier-Thomas, these short stories and poems reflect the diverse Christmas experiences of everyday African Americans, exploring themes of familial and romantic love, faith, as well as more serious topics such as racism, violence, poverty, and racial identity.
Included in this captivating book are such gems as "The Sermon in the Cradle" by W. E. B. Du Bois, "The Christmas Reunion Down at Martinsville" by Augustus M. Hodges, "The Children's Christmas" by Alice Moore Dunbar, "One Christmas Eve" by Langston Hughes, "Mollie's Best Christmas Gift" by Mary E. Lee, "A Christmas Story" by Carrie Jane Thomas, "Elsie's Christmas" by Salem Tutt Whitney, and "The Autobiography of a Dollar Bill" by Lelia Plummer, among 13 other enchanting tales.
Additionally, the collection features "A Christmas Party That Prevented a Split in the Church" by Margaret Black, a poignant story that explores the power of community and the true meaning of the holiday season. Through these captivating narratives, readers are transported to the rich and diverse experiences of African American communities during the Christmas season, and are invited to reflect on the universal themes of love, faith, and the human condition.
This anthology is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the vibrant and underrepresented literary traditions of African Americans, as well as those seeking to broaden their understanding of the multifaceted ways in which the Christmas holiday has been celebrated and experienced throughout history. Whether you're looking for heartwarming tales of familial love, thought-provoking explorations of racial identity, or simply a delightful collection of holiday stories, this book is sure to become a cherished addition to your literary collection for years to come.
