Klappentext zu „The Black "I" “
For over a century, the African American author has faced the challenge of writing for a racially dual audience and their often divergent expectations. This book explores the author's cultural and literary dilemma, using dialogical insights to examine two contrasting approaches the author may take toward each audience. The result is a groundbreaking new literary theory that identifies four distinct types of African American literature and redefines the concept of double consciousness for the African American writer.

Pressezitat
"Devon Boan's study of African American literary traditions offers an original and theoretically sophisticated analysis of the relationships between the author and the audience. Boan sets forth an original model for mapping these relationships and then illustrates each type with a reading of a major work from the twentieth century. The text is very well-written and makes an important contribution to our understanding of ethnicity and modern American culture." (Meili Steele, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of South Carolina)
