When first published in 1930, Not Without Laughter established Langston Hughes as not only a brilliant poet and leading light of the Harlem Renaissance but also a gifted novelist. In telling the story of Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy in small-town Kansas, and of his family-his mother, Annjee, a housekeeper for a wealthy white family; his irresponsible father, Jimboy, who plays the guitar and travels the country in search of employment; his strong-willed grandmother Hager, who clings to her faith; his Aunt Tempy, who marries a rich man; and his Aunt Harriet, who struggles to make it as a blues singer-Hughes gives the longings and lineaments of black life in the early twentieth century an important place in the history of racially divided America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50868856783080,"sku":"9781639239993","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_6597b71f-0f3e-451f-8ba8-de4c54217ed6.jpg?v=1790359167","url":"https:\/\/kuumba-47muwsn1.myshopify.com\/products\/not-without-laughter-9","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
