Africana literary critic and cultural theory scholar, Christel N.
Temple, whose groundbreaking books, Literary Pan-Africanism:
History, Contexts, and Criticism (2005) and Literary Spaces:
Introduction to Comparative Black Literature (2007), have been some
of the most influential models of contemporary Africana
Studies-based literary criticism, responds to the demand for a core
disciplinary source that comprehensively defines and models
literary praxis from the vantage point of Africana Studies. This
highly anticipated seminal study finally institutionalizes the
discipline's literary enterprise. Framing the concept of
transcendence, she covers over a dozen traditional African American
works in an original and thought-provoking analysis that places
canonical approaches in enlightened discourse with Africana studies
reader-response priorities. This study makes traditional literature
come alive in conversation with topics of masculinity, womanism,
Black Lives Matter, humor, Pan-Africanism, transnationalism,
worldview, the subject place of Africa, cultural mythology, hero
dynamics, Black psychology, demographics, history, Black liberation
theology, eulogy, cultural memory, Afro-futurism, the Kemetic
principle of Maat, social justice, rap and hip hop, Diaspora, and
performance. Scholars now have a focused Africana Studies text-for
both introductory and advanced literature courses-to capture the
power of the African American literary canon while modeling the
most dynamic practical applications of humanities-to-social science
practices.
