미국작가가 미국에서 흑인의 삶에 대해서 쓴책으로 1-17개의 에세이 형식으로 씀.
EDITOR’S NOTE
When it was decided to reissue J. Saunders Redding’s famous
little book in a paperback edition, we wrote to Mr. Redding at
Hampton Institute, where he teaches English, to ask if he wished
to update the book or perhaps write a new introduction. In due
course an answer arrived from Nigeria, where Mr. Redding is
presently lecturing and traveling, telling us to go ahead with
whatever updating we would think important to the text. We
went over the book carefully. It is true, some things have changed:
Mr. Redding is a little older, his sons have grown into young men,
his father died last year, at the age of ninety-two―but except for
those things we found that, unfortunately, no updating was
needed.

미국에서 흑인으로 삶을 산다는 것.On Being Negro in America, by J. Saunders Redding
“What a self-conscious people your Negroes are!” a recent
French visitor exclaimed. He was right. The Negro lives
constantly on two planes of awareness. Watching the telecast
of a boxing match between Ezzard Charles, the Negro who
happened to be heavyweight champion, and a white challenger,
a friend of mine said, “I don’t like Charles as a person but I’ve
got to root for him to beat this white boy―and good.”
One’s heart is sickened at the realization of the primal energy
that goes undeflected and unrefined into the sheer business of
living as a Negro in the United States―in any one of the United
States.
J. Saunders Redding has also written:
？ TO MAKE A POET BLACK
？ NO DAY OF TRIUMPH
？ STRANGER AND ALONE
？ THEY CAME IN CHAINS
？ READING FOR WRITING (A college text with Ivan E.
Taylor)
？ AN AMERICAN IN INDIA
？ LONESOME ROAD

masterworks, printed on high quality
