Description

This seminal work explores how African and Afro-American authors writing in Western languages have shaped and revised the Western literary canon. Rather than standing outside established traditions, black literature demonstrates a complex formal relationship with canonical works whilst engaging with Western rhetorical strategies. First published in 1984, this Routledge edition is organised into two distinct sections that systematically examine black literary theory and black literary practice separately. The book moves beyond simple application of contemporary critical approaches to offer deeper insight into how black authors have transformed literary traditions. Essential reading for scholars of multicultural studies, literary theory, and African-American literature, this work challenges conventional understandings of the literary canon and demonstrates the central role black writers have played in shaping Western literary discourse.

Key Features

Divided into two focused sections that distinguish black literary theory from black literary practice for comprehensive understanding.

Examines how black literature revises and reflects Western rhetorical strategies whilst maintaining distinct cultural perspectives.

Originally published in 1984 by Routledge as an influential contribution to literary theory and criticism.

Addresses the complex formal relationship between black literature and the Western literary canon.

Valuable resource for scholars studying African and Afro-American authors in Western languages and multicultural literary studies.
