Unlike the other two magazines, <i>The Messenger</i> was not tied to a civil rights organization. Labor activist A. Philip Randolph and economist Chandler Owen started the magazine in 1917 to advance the cause of socialism to the black masses. They believed that a socialist society was the only one that would be free from racism. <p/>The socialist ideology of<i> The Messenger</i> the only magazine of scientific radicalism in the world published by Negroes, was reflected in the pieces and authors published in its pages. <i>The Messenger Reader </i>contains poetry, stories, and essays from Paul Robeson, Zora Neale Hurston, Wallace Thurman, and Dorothy West. <p/><i>The Messenger Reader</i>, will be a welcome addition to the critically acclaimed Modern Library Harlem Renaissance series.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sondra Katherine Wilson, Ph.D. is a researcher at Harvard University's W.
