  • - The Storyteller's Craft in Zora Neale Hurston, Gloria Naylor, and Randall Kenan
    von Trudier Harris
    39,00 €

    Southern literature is often celebrated for its "told" rather than "written" qualities. Drawing on her own experiences of front-porch storytelling among family, friends, and neighbours, Trudier Harris looks across the generations of twentieth-century southern writers to focus on three African Americans who possess the "power of the porch".

    In Depictions of Home in African American Literature, Trudier Harris analyzes fictional homespaces in African American literature from those set in the time of slavery to modern urban configurations of the homespace. She argues that African American writers often inadvertently create and follow a tradition of portraying dysfunctional and physically or emotionally violent homespaces. Harris explores the roles race and religion play in the creation of homespaces and how geography, space, and character all influence these spaces. Although many characters in African American literature crave safe, happy homespaces and frequently carry such images with them through their mental or physical migrations, few characters experience the formation of healthy homespaces by the end of their journeys. Harris studies the historical, cultural, and literary portrayals of the home in works from well-known authors such as Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and August Wilson as well as lesser-studied authors such as Daniel Black, A.J. Verdelle, Margaret Walker, and Dorothy West.

  • - African American Writers and the South
    von Trudier Harris
    46,00 €

    New Yorker James Baldwin once declared that a black man can look at a map of the United States, contemplate the area south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and thus scare himself to death. In The Scary Mason-Dixon Line, Trudier Harris explores why black writers have consistently both loved and hated the South.
