Descripción
Sumario:Existentialist Thought in African American Literature before 1940 consciously acknowledges the existential currents that are profoundly embedded in African American literature, establishing a rich legacy of existentialist thought that predates Richard Wright's existential birth. This collection fuses together discussions of existentialist thought and African American literature in an effort to rethink and even re-frame African American literary traditions, showing that several texts, and even most canonical texts, lack a systematic study through an existential lens.
