From Behind the Veil : A STUDY OF AFRO-AMERICAN NARRATIVE, Paperback / softback Book

From Behind the Veil : A STUDY OF AFRO-AMERICAN NARRATIVE Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This pioneering study of Afro-American narrative is far more critical, historical, and textual than biographical, chronological, and atextual.

Robert Stepto asserts that Afro-American culture has its store of canonical stories or pregeneric myths, the primary one being the quest for freedom and literacy.

This second edition includes a new preface and an afterward entitled "Distrust of the Reader in Afro-American Narratives."
