Ralph Ellison and Kenneth Burke: At the Roots of the Racial Divide - Tapa blanda

I recommend this title to any scholar of either Burke or Ellison for profound study. --Jive Talk " Ralph Ellison and Kenneth Burke makes critically important contributions not only to Ellison scholarship but also to our current discussions of race in America." --Robert Butler, Canisius College "African American Review " Bryan Crable's Ralph Ellison and Kenneth Burke is a scholarly work of exceptional depth. It offers considerable and original insight into the work and careers of two of the most important cultural figures in America during the twentieth century. And it has further import because of Crable's fundamental contention: that the relationship between Ellison and Burke epitomizes the larger racial issue that lies at the heart of American culture. In short, the book enriches scholarship on Burke and Ellison and participates in the most important cultural conversation now going on in this country. --Jack Selzer, Pennsylvania State University Ralph Ellison and Kenneth Burke is a pioneering synthesis of biographical and critical scholarship on two enduring giants of twentieth-century American life as well as an utterly unique exploration of heretofore unexamined archival materials. --John Wright, University of Minnesota
