The absence of one of American writings' oldest traditions in the
canon has produced a body of literature not only alienating to a
large part of the population, but one which has impoverished itself
of a broader representation of humanity. This book is written by
teachers interested in bringing that traditional African American
literature into the classroom. Documented here is the learning
process that these educators experienced themselves as they read
and discussed the stories and pedagogical strategies which would
engage their students. In following these discussions between
teachers and academics, one should be able to see how the teaching
and learning of African American literature can be an exciting and
challenging way of confronting and questioning pervasive cultural
assumptions about race and gender. In this way, all students can
bring their personal experiences and insights into the classroom.
Given today's social landscape, conventional frameworks for
teaching literature must be seriously revised to accommodate and
address a growing multicultural population.
