African-American Literature: Gay Male
 
The African-American gay male tradition in literature consists of a substantial body of texts, spans a period of nearly seven decades, and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century such as James Baldwin, Countee Cullen, and Langston Hughes. It challenges black and white homophobia as well as straight and queer racism.
