African American literature in transition, 1980-1990 /
edited by D. Quentin Miller, Rich Blint
- New York : cambridge university press, 2023.
- xiv, 260 p.
Includes bibliographical references and index
'African American Literature in Transition, 1980-1990' tracks Black expressive culture in the 1980s as novelists, poets, dramatists, filmmakers, and performers grappled with the contradictory legacies of the civil rights era, and the start of culture wars and policy machinations that would come to characterize the 1990s. The volume is necessarily interdisciplinary and critically promiscuous in its methodologies and objects of study as it reconsiders conventional temporal, spatial, and moral understandings of how African American letters emerged immediately after the movement James Baldwin describes as the 'latest slave rebellion'
