God Bless the Child That's Got His Own: Song of Solomon --IndexHome is a powerful metaphor guiding the literature of African Americans throughout the twentieth century. While scholars have given considerable attention to the Great Migration and the role of the northern city as well as to the place of the South in African American literature, few have given specific notice to the site of "home." And in the twenty years since Houston A. Baker Jr.'s Blues, Ideology, and Afro-American Literature appeared, no one has offered a substantial challenge to his reading of the blues matrix. Burnin' Down the House creates new and sophisticated possibilities for a critical engagement with African American literature by presenting both a meaningful critique of the blues matrix and a careful examination of the place of home in five classic novels: Native Son by Richard Wright, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, The Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, and Corregidora by Gayl Jones.American fictionAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismDomestic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismAfrican American families in literatureAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifeAfrican American women in literatureAfrican Americans in literatureDwellings in literatureFamilies in literatureHome in literatureElectronic books.American fictionAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.Domestic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticism.African American families in literature.African AmericansIntellectual life.African American women in literature.African Americans in literature.Dwellings in literature.Families in literature.Home in literature.813.009/3552Prince Valerie Sweeney1056796MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451772203321Burnin' down the house2491411UNINA01126nam a22002411i 450099100250193970753620030828152426.0030925s1980 gw |||||||||||||||||ger 3533029077b12297653-39ule_instARCHE-034522ExLBiblioteca InterfacoltàitaA.t.i.
