In Depictions of Home in African American Literature, Trudier
Harris analyzes fictional homespaces in African American literature
from those set in the time of slavery to modern urban
configurations of the homespace. She argues that African American
writers often inadvertently create and follow a tradition of
portraying dysfunctional and physically or emotionally violent
homespaces. Harris explores the roles race and religion play in the
creation of homespaces and how geography, space, and character all
influence these spaces. Although many characters in African
American literature crave safe, happy homespaces and frequently
carry such images with them through their mental or physical
migrations, few characters experience the formation of healthy
homespaces by the end of their journeys. Harris studies the
historical, cultural, and literary portrayals of the home in works
from well-known authors such as Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Toni
Morrison, and August Wilson as well as lesser-studied authors such
as Daniel Black, A.J. Verdelle, Margaret Walker, and Dorothy West.
