  <description><![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;12 Million Black Voices, first published in 1941, combines Wright&#8217;s prose with startling photographs selected by Edwin Rosskam from the Security Farm Administration files compiled during the Great Depression. The photographs include works by such giants as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein. From crowded, rundown farm shacks to Harlem storefront churches, the photos depict the lives of black people in 1930s America&#8212;their misery and weariness under rural poverty, their spiritual strength, and their lives in northern ghettos. Wright&#8217;s accompanying text eloquently narrates the story of these 90 pictures and delivers a powerful commentary on the origins and history of black oppression in this country. Also included are new prefaces by Douglas Brinkley, Noel Ignatiev, and Michael Eric Dyson. &#8220;Among all the works of Wright, 12 Million Black Voices stands out as a work of poetry, ... passion, ... and of love.&#8221;&#8212;David Bradley &#8220;A more eloquent statement of its kind could hardly have been devised.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times Book Review&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

Wright uses photographs taken during the WPA of Roosevelt's New Deal to write a paean to African Americans leaving the South post-slavery and sharecropping to discover the kitchenettes of Northern cities during the Great Migration.

    <body><![CDATA[Wow. Life-changing. Granted I am reading it for grad school, but amazing. For the sheer talent in the photography alone, this book should be picked up. Richard Wright, as amazing as any author, uses words so full of power, one cannot close the book without shedding a tear. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;12 Million Black Voices, first published in 1941, combines Wright&#8217;s prose with startling photographs selected by Edwin Rosskam from the Security Farm Administration files compiled during the Great Depression. The photographs include works by such giants as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein. From crowded, rundown farm shacks to Harlem storefront churches, the photos depict the lives of black people in 1930s America&#8212;their misery and weariness under rural poverty, their spiritual strength, and their lives in northern ghettos. Wright&#8217;s accompanying text eloquently narrates the story of these 90 pictures and delivers a powerful commentary on the origins and history of black oppression in this country. Also included are new prefaces by Douglas Brinkley, Noel Ignatiev, and Michael Eric Dyson. &#8220;Among all the works of Wright, 12 Million Black Voices stands out as a work of poetry, ... passion, ... and of love.&#8221;&#8212;David Bradley &#8220;A more eloquent statement of its kind could hardly have been devised.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times Book Review&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[12 Million Black Voices, first published in 1941, brilliantly captures the lives of black people in America during the Great Depression. By combining the powerful prose of Richard Wright with startling photographs by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, and Arthur Rothstein, this book poignantly depicts the lives of black people during that era, from crowded, run-down farm shacks to Harlem storefront churches.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;12 Million Black Voices, first published in 1941, combines Wright&#8217;s prose with startling photographs selected by Edwin Rosskam from the Security Farm Administration files compiled during the Great Depression. The photographs include works by such giants as Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein. From crowded, rundown farm shacks to Harlem storefront churches, the photos depict the lives of black people in 1930s America&#8212;their misery and weariness under rural poverty, their spiritual strength, and their lives in northern ghettos. Wright&#8217;s accompanying text eloquently narrates the story of these 90 pictures and delivers a powerful commentary on the origins and history of black oppression in this country. Also included are new prefaces by Douglas Brinkley, Noel Ignatiev, and Michael Eric Dyson. &#8220;Among all the works of Wright, 12 Million Black Voices stands out as a work of poetry, ... passion, ... and of love.&#8221;&#8212;David Bradley &#8220;A more eloquent statement of its kind could hardly have been devised.&#8221;&#8212;The New York Times Book Review&lt;/div&gt;]]>
