Titled Negro Poetry and Drama, FIRST EDITION published in 1937 by The Associates in Negro Folk Education.  This was part of a "Bronze Booklet" series by this publisher which looked at "the history, problems and cultural contributions of the Negro".  The back of the jacket lists 8 of these books, this one is #7.  

Overall in GOOD CONDITION, with the main wear issue being the front cover.  It has some red crayon markings, some soiling, a tear on the bottom left hand corner, and the front cover is detached at the spine on the bottom third or so.  The back cover is solidly attached and also has a bit of soiling.  The text block is solid wit no interior marks in 142 pages.  The last leaf, pages 141 and 142, does have a small tear.  

Divided into two sections, Mr. Brown's book begins with an overview of the Negro in American poetry, presenting Early American Negro Poetry, Negro Folk Poetry, Paul Lewis Dunbar and Traditional Dialect, and The Romantic Tradition, Contemporary Negro Poetry, and a chapter on Whtie Poetry of Negro Life before 1914. Part two looks at Early Drama of Negro Life, Negro Folk Drama, and discusses Realistic and Problem Drama.
