Because of the diversity of Hughes' opus, Ostrom (English, African-American studies, U. of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA) does not assume reader familiarity with all facets of this growing-in- stature Harlem Renaissance pioneer in lyric poetry, short fiction, literary journalism, and theater. Entries ranging from "Abe Lincoln" (a poem published in 1960) to "Zelli's" (a Paris nightclub he frequented in the 1920s) relate to that seminal movement as well as to American English, African and Caribbean cultures, folklore, and 20th century history and politics. Many entries list secondary sources. A chronology concludes with 1967, the year of his death and publication of "Thank You, Ma'am" in The Best Short Stories by Negro Writers (edited by Hughes).
