Title African-American journeying : a trope of resistance, identity, revolution, and voice in the quest for wholenes
Date 1990
Description Over one hundred years after President Abraham Lincoln called for the Emancipation of American slaves, modern black American writers and critics are still talking about slavery as though it is a condition of limitation from which African-Americans have yet to be set free. Is slavery a metaphor that today describes the African-American experience? If so, how has an on-going legacy of slavery shaped the African-American literary tradition?
