It aims to say something about the black short story as a genre and the development of the racial situation in America as well. The primary aim is to introduce the reader to this long neglected genre of black fiction. In contrast to the black novel, the short story has hardly been given extensive criticism, let alone serious attention. The individual essays of this collection aim at presenting new points of critical orientation in the hope of reviving and fostering further discussions. 606 $aShort stories, American$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aShort stories, American$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aShort stories, American$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aShort stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813.01 701 $aBruck$b Peter$01817407 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960172103321 996 $aThe Black American short story in the 20th century$94375174 997 $aUNINA
