藍斯頓休斯(Langston
Hughes)是1920年代的非裔美人藝術運動:哈林文藝復興運動(Harlem
Renaissance)中,最重要的作家及思想家之一。哈林文藝復興運動是一項用來頌揚黑人的生活及文化的活動。休斯的創作深受他在紐約市哈林區的生活影響,哈林區是最主要的非裔美人居住地區。他的文學作品有助塑造美國文學及政治。就像其他活躍於哈林文藝復興運動中的藝術家,休斯也擁有強烈的種族自尊;藉由他所創作的詩詞、小說、劇本、散文及童書,他提倡平等、詛咒種族歧視及不公,並讚美非裔美人的文化、幽默感及靈性。
Langston Hughes was one of the most important writers and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance, which was the African American artistic movement in the 1920s that celebrated black life and culture. Hughes's creative genius was influenced by his life in New York City's Harlem, a primarily African American neighborhood. His literary works helped shape American literature and politics. Hughes, like others active in the Harlem Renaissance, had a strong sense of racial pride. Through his poetry, novels, plays, essays, and children's books, he promoted equality, condemned racism and injustice, and celebrated African American culture, humor, and spirituality.
