African American literature has changed in startling ways since the
end of the Black Arts Era. The last five decades have generated new
paradigms of racial formation and novel patterns of cultural
production, circulation, and reception. This volume takes up the
challenge of mapping the varied and changing field of contemporary
African American writing. Balancing the demands of historical and
political context with attention to aesthetic innovation, it
considers the history, practice, and future directions of the
field. Examining various historical forces shaping the creation of
innovative genres, the turn to the afterlife of slavery, the pull
toward protest, and the impact of new and expanded geographies and
methods, this Companion provides an invaluable point of reference
for readers seeking rigorous and cutting-edge analyses of
contemporary African American literature.
