The imaginative literature of African and Afro-American authors
writing in Western languages has long been seen as standing outside
the Western literary canon. In fact, however, black literature not
only has a complex formal relation to that canon, but tends to
revise and reflect Western rhetorical strategies even more than it
echoes black vernacular literary forms. This book, first published
in 1984, is divided into two sections, thus clarifying the nature
of black literary theory on the one hand, and the features of black
literary practice on the other. Rather than merely applying
contemporary Western theory to black literature, these critics
instead challenge and redefine the theory in order to make fresh,
stimulating comments not only on black criticism and literature but
also on the general state of criticism today.
