      abstract = {The second edition of this landmark anthology brings  together the work of 120 writers in the most comprehensive  collection of African American writing available.  Representing over 250 years of writing in all genres, the  second edition offers eleven major works in their entirety.  Nine writers are newly included, among them Jupiter Hammon,  Martin Delany, Caryl Phillips, Colson Whitehead, and  Harryette Mullen. The anthology opens with a generous  section of blues, spirituals, jazz, hip-hop, sermons, and  speeches, many of which are brought to life on the expanded  two-CD set which includes vocal and instrumental pieces  from ragtime to Motown, and twenty-four speeches, readings,  and performances by powerful voices from Booker T.  Washington to Rita Dove. With a general introduction by  Henry Louis Gates Jr., updated period introductions,  head-notes, and bibliographies, "The Norton Anthology of  African American Literature, Second Edition," reflects the  latest scholarship in this vibrant and varied literary  tradition.},
