| Publisher Description: This is an original volume of critical and theoretical essays that seek to interpret the current philosophical, aesthetic, and literary thinking about African American literature and language. Some of the most significant writers and thinkers in the field have contributed to analyses, critiques, and theoretical developments in every genre of literature. The widespread debate over the canon in American literature, the issue of cultural diversity, and the need to have books with critical inquiry into African American culture make this collection suitable for scholars and students in such diverse fields as literature, linguistics, and African American Studies. |
