From Frederick Douglass to the present, the preoccupation of black
writers with manhood and masculinity is a constant. Black Manhood
in James Baldwin, Ernest J. Gaines, and August Wilson explores how
in their own work three major African American writers contest
classic portrayals of black men in earlier literature, from slave
narratives through the great novels of Richard Wright and Ralph
Ellison. Keith Clark examines short stories, novels, and plays by
Baldwin, Gaines, and Wilson, arguing that since the 1950s the three
have interrupted and radically dismantled the constricting literary
depictions of black men who equate selfhood with victimization,
isolation, and patriarchy. Instead, they have reimagined black men
whose identity is grounded in community, camaraderie, and intimacy.
Delivering original and startling insights, this book will appeal
to scholars and students of African American literature, gender
studies, and narratology.
