Building on the discoveries of his critically acclaimed Odysseys Home, Clarke passionately analyses the beautiful complexities and haunting conundrums of this important body of literature. Directions Home explores the trajectories and tendencies of African-Canadian literature within the Canadian canon and the socio-cultural traditions of the African Diaspora. Clarke showcases the importance of little-known texts, including church histories and slave narratives, and offers studies of autobiography, crime and punishment, jazz poetics, and musical composition. The collection also includes studies of significant contemporary writers such as George Boyd and Dionne Brand, and trailblazing African-Canadian intellectuals like A.B. Walker and Anna Minerva Henderson. With its national, bilingual, and historical perspectives, Directions Home is an essential guide to African-Canadian literature. 606 $aCanadian literature$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfricans in literature 606 $aBlack people in literature 606 $aRace in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCanadian literature$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfricans in literature. 615 0$aBlack people in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 676 $aC810.9/896071 700 $aClarke$b George Elliott$0906408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453172903321 996 $aDirections home$92027014 997 $aUNINA
