Herman Beavers offers a richly nuanced study of Ernes J. Gaines,
James Alan McPherson, and Ralph Ellison as writers who have found
ways to invest circumstances that might otherwise be seen as sites
of squalor or despair with a sense of cultural vitality. He
examines the Ellisonian themes and motifs the two later writers
take up in their fiction, and looks at Ellison's influence on the
strategies they enact to construct themselves as American writers.
For Beavers, the fictions of Ellison, Gaines, and McPherson are
peopled by characters who value acts of storytelling and whose
stories frame a fuller, more complex, and more inclusive version of
American identity than those the dominant white culture has
allowed.
