Black Literature Criticism: Excerpts from Criticism of the Most Significant Works of Black Authors over the Past 200 Years: v. 1-3 - Hardcover
A collection of excerpted criticism on major works by prominent black writers from the past 200 years. A total of 125 writers from the US, Nigeria, South Africa, and a dozen other nations are featured in comprehensive author entries which provide detailed profiles of each author and a history of critical response to his or her works. About half the entries are entirely new, and about half were selected from Gale's acclaimed Literary Criticism Series and updated for inclusion here. Interviews and author statements are included in many entries, as are author portraits and other illustrations. For high school, college, and university students, as well as general readers. A beautiful job but with one caveat: 125 entries only scratch the surface. Where are Willard Motley, Edward Brathwaite (Kamau), C.L.R. James, Walter Rodney, Orlando Patterson, dozens (if not hundreds) more? Let's hope the set will be extended into an ongoing series. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
