From Behind the Veil : A STUDY OF AFRO-AMERICAN NARRATIVE Paperback / softback
by Robert B. Stepto
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."
