Eldred Kurtz Means, a dedicated "writer of Negro stories," returns with "More E. K. Means," a collection of short stories offering a glimpse into African American life. Published in the early 20th century, these tales, rich in dialect and humor, present a unique and often controversial perspective.
This volume, like Means's previous work, focuses on portraying the experiences and voices within the African American community. While the stories employ humor, they also reflect the prevalent social attitudes and stereotypes of the time. These stories serve as a valuable historical document, inviting readers to consider the complexities of American culture and representation. This carefully prepared edition preserves the original text, allowing you to engage directly with Means's distinct narrative style and the historical context in which these stories were created.
