Re-Forming the Past: History, the Fantastic, & the Postmodern Slave Narrative

Meer over het boek

Classifies the postmodern slave narratives of Ishmael Reed, Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Charles Johnson, Jewelle Gomez, and Samuel Delaney under one conceptual framework--"re-forming" the past--and argues that their distinctly African American form of postmodern slave narrative forces the reader to question the ideologies set forth by earlier, "realistic" depictions of slavery.
