Folks From Dixie Paul Laurence Dunbar by Paul Laurence Dunbar instant download after payment.

The first collection of short stories written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, Folks from Dixie (1898) is also considered the first volume of short stories by an African American to be published in the United States. Most of the twelve stories in Folks from Dixie had been published previously in popular magazines; the volume sold well and was reprinted in England in 1899. 
Setting the tone for the short fiction that Dunbar collected in three subsequent volumes, the stories in Folks from Dixie celebrate the simple pleasures of “down-home” living for African Americans, who find fulfillment in their own communities apart from and seemingly unmindful of the world of whites. Only a comparative few of Dunbar's stories offer candid assessments of social problems occasioned by race.
