Book Synopsis The Afro-American Novel and Its Tradition by : Bernard W. Bell
Book excerpt: This study is an addition to the growing body of scholarly analysis examining the Afro-American contribution. It is based on the premise that in the last 25 years the traditional canon of American literature excluded important minority authors. Proceeding chronologically from William Wells Brown's Clotel (1853), to experimental novels of the 1980s, Bell comments on more than 150 works, with close readings of 41 novelists. His remarks are framed by an inquiry into the distinctive elements of Afro-American fiction. ISBN 0-87023-568-0 : $25.00.
