Anything can be considered gynocentric when it is concerned exclusively with a female point of view. The works of Langston Hughes, which reflect the intersection of races and genders in the lives of blacks, are studied. His contributions take multiple forms including poetry, short stories, dramas and novels which are about black women's love, nature, romantic dilemmas, mother - daughter relationships, friendship, and silences. The authors analyze how gender in a special way colors female identity in Hughes' works. He expresses interdependence of genders and racial identities in his representations of black women and hence can be dubbed as gender racial. His writings are in a gender racial style, highlighting and intertwining gender and racial identities. Hughes' overcomes gender and racial stereotypes with open discussions on contentious themes. It is concluded that Hughes creates an alternative to repressive social realities by combining challenges with sensual visions.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Гиноцентризм исключительно фокусируется на женщинах как в теории, так и на практике. Гиноцентрическим можно считать все, что касается исключительно женской точки зрения. Исследуются работы Лэнгстона Хьюза, в которых отражается пересечение рас и полов в жизни чернокожих. Его вклад принимает различные формы, включая поэзию, рассказы, драмы и романы о любви чернокожих женщин, природе, романтических дилеммах, отношениях матери и дочери, дружбе и молчании. Анализируется, как пол особенным образом окрашивает женскую идентичность в произведениях Хьюза. В своем представлении о чернокожих женщинах он рассматривает взаимозависимость полов и расовой идентичности и, следовательно, его взгляд может быть назван гендерно-расовым. Произведения, написанные в гендерно-расовом стиле, подчеркивают и переплетают гендерную и расовую идентичность. Хьюз преодолевает гендерные и расовые стереотипы с помощью открытых дискуссий на спорные темы. Делается вывод, что Хьюз создает альтернативу репрессивным социальным реалиям, сочетая вызовы с чувственными видениями.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Langston Hughes</kwd><kwd>genderracial</kwd><kwd>gynocentrism</kwd><kwd>black women</kwd><kwd>identities</kwd><kwd>poetry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Лэнгстон Хьюз</kwd><kwd>гендерная раса</kwd><kwd>гиноцентризм</kwd><kwd>чернокожие женщины</kwd><kwd>идентичности</kwd><kwd>поэзия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Anderson, J.
