The
New
Cavalcade: African-American Writing from 1760 to the Present (Volumes I and II) Edited by Arthur P. Davis, J. Saunders Redding, and Joyce Ann Joyce
Originally published in 1971 as one volume, Cavalcade was edited by Arthur P. Davis and J. Saunders Redding and was acclaimed for its comprehensiveness and usefulness. Now the New Cavalcade Volumes I and II, with editors Davis and Saunders, who are joined by Joyce Ann Joyce, includes more than 300 selections—short stories, poems, and excerpts from novels, essays, plays, biography, and autobiography that represents the work of more than 150 authors. Each time period is prefaced by a critical introduction, there is a brief biographical head note for each author and a bibliography is at the end of each volume.
