Produktbeschreibung

Writing for Inclusion examines four nineteenth-century Afro-Cuban and African American writers-Juan Francisco Manzano, Frederick Douglass, Martín Morúa Delgado, and Charles W. Chesnutt-whose works provide examples of self-emancipation, interrogate the terms of exclusion from the nation, and argue for inclusive visions of national identity.
