Experts in the field from the US and Europe address some of the major issues in the genre: passing, the Protest novel, the Blues novel, and womanism among others. The essays are full of fresh insights for students into the symbolic, aesthetic, and political function of canonical and non-canonical fiction. Chapters examine works by Ralph Ellison, Leon Forrest, Toni Morrison, Ishmael Reed, Alice Walker, John Edgar Wideman, and many others. They reflect a range of critical methods intended to prompt new and experienced readers to consider the African American novel as a cultural and literary act of extraordinary significance. This volume, including a chronology and guide to further reading, is an important resource for students and teachers alike. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican fiction$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 676 $a813.009/896073 702 $aGraham$b Maryemma 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205083403316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to the African American novel$92493459 997 $aUNISA
