An argument for a major remapping of the early African American literary landscape
Deep archival research, though, is beginning to show that nineteenth-century African Americans throughout the nation used their stories to advance individual and collective struggles. As a scholar, I've grown to recognize that we need to return their voices to our historical and cultural record; as a teacher, I've come to understand that students need to see how close they are to nineteenth-century Black literature.
Unexpected Places: Relocating Nineteenth-Century African American Literature relocates and recovers Black authors and texts from "unexpected places" from frontier Indiana to early San Francisco. In arguing that early Black texts raised challenging and uncomfortable questions across the nation, I hope to resituate the field of African American literature to recognize a much more diverse textual landscape, including Black journalism and poetry in newspapers, freedom suit case files, and many more examples of ardent and, until now, lost expression.
