About this title

From Library Journal

This book introduces readers to an unbiased spectrum of significant black writers throughout the world, including Chinua Achebe, Toni Morrison, and Wole Soyinka. Selections were made on the basis of scope, quantity of critical information available, recommendations from notable authorities, retrospective evaluations, seminal articles on authors' works, current commentaries offering recent viewpoints, and interviews and authors' statements regarding their works. Absolutely a one-of-a-kind reference, this work is a valuable means of examining various approaches to literary research for all types of students and for the general reader who wants to know more about black literature. It is timely, comprehensive, and relevant in its recognition of the powerful impact these authors have had on society for 200 years.
