Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. A New York Times Notable Book Shortlisted for the Phi Beta Kappa Society's Christian Gauss Award for Outstanding Books in Literary ScholarshipHenry Louis Gates is a national treasure. Here, he returns with an intellectual and at times deeply personal meditation on the hard-fought evolution and the very meaning of African American identity, calling upon our country to transcend its manufactured divisions. Isabel Wilkerson, author of The Warmth of Other Suns and CasteThis is a literary history of Black America, but it is also an argument that African American history is inextricable from the history of African American literature. The New York TimesA magnificent, foundational reckoning with how Black Americans have used the written word to define and redefine themselves, in resistance to the lies of racism and often in heated disagreement with one another, over the course of the countrys historyDistilled over many years from Henry Louis Gates, Jr.s, legendary Harvard introductory course in African American studies, The Black Box: Writing the Race, is the story of Black self-denition in America through the prism of the writers who have led the way. From Phillis Wheatley and Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington to Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, James Baldwin and Toni Morrisonthese writers used words to create a livable world, a home, for Black people destined to live out their lives in a bitterly racist society.It is a book grounded in the beautiful irony that a group formed legally and conceptually by its oppressors to justify brutal subhuman bondage transformed itself through the word into a community joined in overcoming one of historys most pernicious lies. Out of that contested ground has owered a resilient, creative, powerful, diverse culture of people who have often disagreed markedly about what it means to be Black, and about how best to use the past to create a more just and equitable future.This is the epic story of how, through essays and speeches, novels, plays, and poems, a long line of creative thinkers has unveiled the contours ofand resisted connement inthe black box inside which this nation within a nation has been assigned, willy-nilly, from the nations founding through to today. This is a book that records the compelling saga of the creation of a people. This item is printed on demand.
