Using literary texts, autobiography, ethnography, and historical documents, African Identities discusses how ideas of Africa as an origin, as a cultural whole, or as a complicated political problematic, emerge as signifiers for analysis of modernity, nationhood and racial difference. Kanneh provides detailed readings of a range of literary texts, including novels by: * Toni Morrison * Alice Walker * Gloria Naylor * Ngugi Wa Thiong'o 606 $aBlacks$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 606 $aBlacks in literature 606 $aWomen, Black, in literature 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xIn literature 615 0$aBlacks$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aBlacks in literature. 615 0$aWomen, Black, in literature. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a305.896 700 $aKanneh$b Kadiatu$f1966-$0622796 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825905803321 996 $aAfrican identities$91092493 997 $aUNINA
