Description

Explore the complex relationship between African and Afro-American authors and the Western literary canon with this Routledge Library Edition. This essential text examines how imaginative literature written in Western languages interacts with established traditions. Rather than sitting outside the canon, black literature often revises and reflects Western rhetorical strategies, offering a unique perspective that goes beyond simple echoes of vernacular forms. Originally published in 1984, this volume provides a structured look at the field by dividing its contents into two distinct sections. This organization helps readers distinguish between the nature of black literary theory and the specific features of black literary practice. It is an important resource for those studying how black writers engage with and transform global literary standards through their creative work.
