This book argues that Catholicism informs a major genre of African
American literature in ways and with a significance that has gone
largely unrecognized. Sacraments of Memory thus proposes a new
framework for understanding the revisionist aims of these works,
contextualizing the skepticism they exhibit towards historical
realism in terms of a Catholic counter-tradition in American
literature that has long been associated with superstition and
irrationality.
