He contends that the work of these writers significantly informs not only African American literary studies but also U.S. political history. Focusing on authors who explicitly connect the empire abroad and the empire at home ( James Weldon Johnson, Sutton Griggs, Pauline E. Hopkins, W.E.B. Du Bois, and others), Gruesser examines U.S. blAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismTheory, etcImperialism in literatureLiterature and globalizationAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifeElectronic books.American literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Imperialism in literature.Literature and globalization.African AmericansIntellectual life.810.9/896073Gruesser John Cullen1959-882102MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461876703321The empire abroad and the empire at home1970336UNINA
