Abstract
The term African-American Literature includes also the writings produced by authors of African descent who were deported from Africa, sold as slaves in America and sold as slaves, or by their descendants, born in American territory. They are writings about slavery and racism, and in many cases they illustrate the strength of women. The need to free themselves from slavery, and the desire to have an identity as well as the desire to be treated as human beings have been some of the mainstays of African-American Literature. African-American Literature which concentrated on the United States Novel since 1945 allows the students to become familiar with some of the main issues relating with the development of the U.S. novel which started after the second World War. Many topics, including postmodernity and postmodernism, issues of race, gender, and class, as well as the relationship between history and its representation, have been discussed by many important writers, such as Nabokov, Barth, Robinson, Roth, and Toni Morrison. Freedom and identity are among two main topics shown in Morrison's narrative which highlights the importance of names and orality. Furthermore, orality and memory are important in order to recollect past traditions and legacy with the ancestors, this means identity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
