Publisher's Notes
The imaginative literature of African and Afro-American authors writing in Western languages has long been seen as standing outside the Western literary canon. In truth, however, black literature not only has a complex relation to the canon but tends to revise and reflect Western rhetorical strategies even more than it echoes black vernacular form....What implications does this have for contemporary literary theory and for practical criticism of black texts?....Essays by Anthony Appiah, Houston Baker, and Barbara Johnson on writers such as Ralph Ellison, Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, Jean Toomer, and Ishmael Reed.
