First line

WHEN African American Countee Cullen queried "What is Africa to me" in his famous poem "Heritage" and then produced a litany of varied, frequently conflicting images and ideas that flitted and flared across his haunted and confused consciousness, he was exposing a central perplexity in the construction of African American self-perception, comprehension, and enlightenment.
