African American Literature in Transition, 1980-1990 tracks Black
expressive culture in the 1980s as novelists, poets, dramatists,
filmmakers, and performers grappled with the contradictory legacies
of the civil rights era, and the start of culture wars and policy
machinations that would come to characterize the 1990s. The volume
is necessarily interdisciplinary and critically promiscuous in its
methodologies and objects of study as it reconsiders conventional
temporal, spatial, and moral understandings of how African American
letters emerged immediately after the movement James Baldwin
describes as the 'latest slave rebellion.' As such, the question of
the state of America's democratic project as refracted through the
literature of the shaping presence of African Americans is one of
the guiding concerns of this volume preoccupied with a moment in
American literary history still burdened by the legacies of the
1960s, while imagining the contours of an African Americanist
future in the new millennium.
