Abstract

Langston Hughes and Gidi Majia have mentioned the color "black" many times in their poems. Because of the difference of culture, history and national psychology, the word "black" provided by the two men in their poems represents the same color but its images are not identical. Based on the above, this paper will compare and analyze the similarities and differences of the image of "black" in the poems of the two poets.
