Rankine asserts that the classics need not be a mark of Eurocentrism, as they have long been considered. Instead, the classical tradition can be part of a self-conscious, prideful approach to African American culture, esthetics, and identity. Ulysses in Black demonstrates that, similar to their white counterparts, African American authors have been students of classical languages, literature, and mythologies by such writers as Homer, Euripides, and Seneca. 410 0$aWisconsin studies in classics. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xGreek influences 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xClassical influences 606 $aOdysseus (Greek mythology) in literature 606 $aMythology, Classical, in literature 606 $aClassicism in literature 606 $aComparative literature$xModern and classical 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xGreek influences. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xClassical influences. 615 0$aOdysseus (Greek mythology) in literature. 615 0$aMythology, Classical, in literature. 615 0$aClassicism in literature. 615 0$aComparative literature$xModern and classical. 676 $a818/.5409 700 $aRankine$b Patrice D$01602877 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823980703321 996 $aUlysses in Black$93926994 997 $aUNINA
