| contents | Impact of the World Wars and the Cold War on Langston Hughes Yanli He Lengua y Literatura Cold War World War Langston Hughes African American literature The two World Wars and the Cold War had a profound impact on Langston Hughes. World War I and the October Revolution wove a web that connected the Soviet Union and its socialist cause to African Americans, and then the Yokinen and Scottsboro trials directly nurtured the “New Red Negro” writings with the spirit of rising “up from bondage” as oppressed people. Hughes traveled the world, became a global citizen, and assumed a cosmopolitan mission for international and racial affairs. However, the Nazi-Soviet Pact changed his view of the world. Hughes began to focus on the problems of “colored soldiers” and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the United States of America and the Soviet Union. When the Iron Curtain came about, McCarthyism drove Hughes to stay in the United States, maintain a distance from international and political affairs, confirm his national position, and rely on writing children’s books for a living, as well as translating and editing others’ works. 2022 artículo científico 1517-106X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=33073894003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/330/33073894003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/330/33073894003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/330/33073894003/33073894003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/330/33073894003/movil 10.1590/1517-106X/202224302 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=330 Alea: Estudos Neolatinos application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Alea: Estudos Neolatinos (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.24 |
