| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. African-American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. The genre traces its origins to the works of late 18th century writers such as Phillis Wheatley and Olaudah Equiano, reaching high points with slave narratives and the Harlem Renaissance. The themes and issues explored in African American literature are the role of African Americans within the larger American society, African-American culture, racism, slavery, and equality. This book studies the history of African American literature including Uncle Tom's Cabin, Up from Slavery, My Bondage and My Freedom, and Black Boy.
