These specially commissioned essays highlight the artistry, complexity and diversity of a literary tradition that ranges from Lucy Terry to Toni Morrison. A wide range of topics are addressed, from the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement, and from the performing arts to popular fiction. Together, the essays provide an invaluable guide to a rich, complex tradition of women writers in conversation with each other as they critique American society and influence American letters. Accessible and vibrant, with the needs of undergraduate students in mind, this Companion will be of great interest to anybody who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of this important and vital area of American literature. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican American women$xIntellectual life 606 $aAfrican American women in literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aAfrican American women in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory. 676 $a810.9/9287 702 $aMitchell$b Angelyn$f1960- 702 $aTaylor$b Danille K. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201151303316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to African American women's literature$92493641 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
