Description

From Within the Frame: Storytelling in African-American Studies provides a deep examination of written representations of oral traditions. This Routledge publication analyzes how authors translate spoken voices into written text, tracing a historical progression through various literary eras. The text examines the work of influential figures including Charles Chesnutt, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison, moving through to James Alan McPherson, Toni Cade Bambara, and John Edgar Wideman. It focuses on the mechanics of the "frame tale" - the relationship between an internal storyteller and listener compared to the relationship between the external writer and reader. Readers will follow the evolution of narrative structure from the late 19th century to the 1960s, observing how the black spoken voice shifts from being contained by white narrators in Chesnutt's 1899 works to the frameless examples found in Bambara's writing. This book is a significant resource for those studying literary criticism and cultural theory within African-American studies.
