Produktbeschreibung

"J. Martin Favor has done the field of African American literary and cultural studies a profound service. His readings of Harlem Renaissance texts challenge our assumptions about racial identity and the ways our assumptions have shaped how we read literature by Black writers."--Herman Beavers, author of "Wrestling Angels into Song: The Fictions of Ernest J. Gaines and James Alan McPherson"
