The latest work from pioneering scholar George Elliott Clarke,
Directions Home is the most comprehensive analysis of
African-Canadian texts and writers to date. Building on the
discoveries of his critically acclaimed Odysseys Home, Clarke
passionately analyses the beautiful complexities and haunting
conundrums of this important body of literature.
Directions Home explores the trajectories and tendencies of
African-Canadian literature within the Canadian canon and the
socio-cultural traditions of the African Diaspora. Clarke showcases
the importance of little-known texts, including church histories
and slave narratives, and offers studies of autobiography, crime
and punishment, jazz poetics, and musical composition. The
collection also includes studies of significant contemporary
writers such as George Boyd and Dionne Brand, and trailblazing
African-Canadian intellectuals like A.B. Walker and Anna Minerva
Henderson.
With its national, bilingual, and historical perspectives,
Directions Home is an essential guide to African-Canadian
literature.
