In Living Color Book Set - MTO
In the year 1773, the book Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral, made Phillis Wheatley the first African American woman to become a published writer. Uniting Wheatley’s collected works with important 20th-century African American literature, including Invisible Man, A Raisin in the Sun, and The Color Purple, readers can appreciate the impact her works have had on generations of writers. Featuring an original painting of Wheatley by Denver-based artist Detour (Thomas Evans), Juniper Books’ custom-printed jackets will make this important collection the centerpiece of your library.
The hardcover books are published by The Modern Library, Harcourt Inc., George Braziller Inc., and Oxford University Press.
Includes:
- A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
- Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker
- The Langston Hughes Reader

We also offer:
