Autor Lovalerie King, Shirley Moody–turner, Darryl Dickson–carr, Eve Dunbar, Kristina Graaff
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2013
The essays in this volume offer access to some of the most innovative contemporary black fiction in America and address important issues in current African American literary studies. Distinguished scholars join writers and younger scholars to explore the work of Toni Morrison, Edward P.
