Crossroads Modernism: Descent and Emergence in African-American Literary CultureU of Minnesota Press, 2002 - 314 من الصفحات "Crossroads Modernism provides an in-depth look at how West African cultural legacies are brought to bear in the structure of a truly African American modernist creative process. Whereas much has been said about the (generally racist) use of blackness in constituting modernism, Crossroads Modernism is the first book to expose the key role that modernism has played in the constitution of blackness in African American aesthetics". --Publisher. |
