Ricardo Wilson II at the Spencertown Academy Festival of 快色直播Troubled Lands

The Spencertown Academy Festival of 快色直播 welcomes Nicholas Boggs, author of Baldwin: A Love Story, and conversation partner Ricardo Wilson II, author of Troubled Lands. In late 1934, Langston Hughes, already established as a leading voice of literary Black America, traveled to Mexico City, where he stayed for more than five months and began translating short fiction by prominent Mexican and Cuban writers. These stories, as he wrote to a friend, explore 鈥渢he revolutions and uprisings, sugar cane, Negroes, Indians, corrupt generals, [and] American imperialists,鈥 and are 鈥渕ostly all left stories, because practically all the writers down here are left these days.鈥
