En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the significant impact of black folklore and slave culture on the works of prominent African American authors like Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison. It highlights the rich creative traditions that have shaped their narratives. Additionally, it addresses a gap in scholarship by examining how white authors have also incorporated black aesthetic techniques, a topic that has received insufficient attention in literary studies.
