Abstract

The making of this thesis is started from a discourse of popular culture, in which an Afro-American folklore; Blues once was chosen to be the object of the writer’s analysis in a former subject. Then the writer interested to reveal more that Blues was used as literary media, and the writer wanted to explore more about Blues and history of Afro-American and make a final thesis of it because the writer excited toward those subjects. The main discourse for this study is the usage of Blues as literary media for some Afro-American writers. And this study exclusively analyzed poetic blues from Langston Hughes. In which he used poetic blues to documented social circumstances of Afro-American history in those works. This study uses socio-historical theories as its approaches to view how literary works played their role as documentation devices of past circumstance in the context of social and history.

In analyses part of this study, the writer elaborates two Langston Hughes’ poetic blues.
