This History explores innovations in African American autobiography
since its inception, examining the literary and cultural history of
Black self-representation amid life writing studies. By analyzing
the different forms of autobiography, including pictorial and
personal essays, editorials, oral histories, testimonials, diaries,
personal and open letters, and even poetry performance media of
autobiographies, this book extends the definition of African
American autobiography, revealing how people of African descent
have created and defined the Black self in diverse print cultures
and literary genres since their arrival in the Americas. It
illustrates ways African Americans use life writing and
autobiography to address personal and collective Black experiences
of identity, family, memory, fulfillment, racism and white
supremacy. Individual chapters examine scrapbooks as a source of
self-documentation, African American autobiography for children,
readings of African American persona poems, mixed-race life writing
after the Civil Rights Movement, and autobiographies by African
American LGBTQ writers.
