I found these stories both heartening, as evidence of a vigorous new talent, and terrifying as the expression of a racial hatred that has never ceased to grow and gets no chance to die., "We have an opportunity to assess Wright's formidable and lasting contribution to American literature . . . They have returned to the 1940 second printing of Uncle Tom's Children which included one additional story, 'Bright and Morning Star,' and 'The Ethics of Jim Crow,' thus offering us all the selections Wright wished the collection to have." (Charles Johnson, Chicago Tribune), In violating the unspoken agreement regarding what could or could not be uttered about race relations in this country, Wright brought to bear both the rhetorical force of leftist polemic and the imaginative energy and cultural richness of Afro-American folklore with a power and a coherence that he may never have again achieved.
