This book reevaluates American literary history, arguing that pre' 1870 ethnic literatures have shaped American literature in fundamental ways. It argues that Black, Indigenous, and immigrant voices have had a profound impact on American literature from its earliest days. Moreover, the author argues that these influences have been neglected and undervalued. The book offers a revisionist history of American literature, one that foregrounds the contributions of writers who have historically been marginalized. The book is significant in that it challenges the traditional canon of American literature and offers a more inclusive and representative understanding of its development.
