Machado de Assis, Lima Barreto, Cruz e Sousa; these are the ones you should care about. You don't even have to think of them as good black writers, but as excellent writers who, curiously, are black. What I mean by that is that they're not praised for the sake of diversity, all of their prestige is well-earned, you should definitely check them out.

Aime Cesairé is really good. Notebook on return to the native land is one of the great poems of the 20th century.
His discourse on colonialism is a more poetic development on postcolonial theory.

If you haven't already Jean Toomer's Cane is very very good.

NourbeSe Philip's Zong! is really great too.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 13 15:13:27 2020 No.15850656 >>15850636 Toni Morrison is actually pretty good, /lit/ is just too retarded to talk about her because she's both black AND a women. /lit/ is very stupid about women writers in general, that's why we can't discuss Jane Austen here.

>Here is the house. It is green and white. It has a red door. It is
very pretty. Here is the family. Mother, Father, Dick, and
Jane live in the green-and-white house. They are very
happy. See Jane. She has a red dress. She wants to play. Who
will play with Jane? See the cat. It goes meow-meow. Come
and play. Come play with Jane. The kitten will not play. See
Mother. Mother is very nice. Mother, will you play with
Jane? Mother laughs. Laugh, Mother, laugh. See Father. He
is big and strong. Father, will you play with Jane? Father is
smiling. Smile, Father, smile. See the dog. Bowwow goes
the dog. Do you want to play with Jane? See the dog run.
Run, dog, run. Look, look. Here comes a friend. The
friend will play with Jane. They will play a good game.
Play, Jane, play.

>Nuns go by as quiet as lust, and drunken men and sober
eyes sing in the lobby of the Greek hotel. Rosemary
Villanucci, our next-door friend who lives above her
father’s café, sits in a 1939 Buick eating bread and butter.
She rolls down the window to tell my sister Frieda and
me that we can’t come in. We stare at her, wanting her
bread, but more than that wanting to poke the arrogance
out of her eyes and smash the pride of ownership that
curls her chewing mouth. When she comes out of the car
we will beat her up, make red marks on her white skin,
and she will cry and ask us do we want her to pull her
pants down. We will say no. We don’t know what we
should feel or do if she does, but whenever she asks us,
we know she is offering us something precious and that
our own pride must be asserted by refusing to accept
