Description

(from book jacket)
"This book offers a comprehensive interpretive history of the Afro-American novel from 1853-1983...Bell describes and discusses more than 150 novels by some 100 writers, giving close attention to 41 authors...As a critical study it carefully situates these novels within their historical, cultural, sociopsyhological, and literary contexts and explores the ways in which major novelists have used oral and written traditions to create their individual visions of the world"
