Böcker av Stephanie Li

Charts the contours of literature by African born or identified authors centred around life in the United States. The texts examined deliberately signify on the African American literary canon to encompass new experiences of immigration, assimilation and identification that challenge how blackness has been previously conceived.

This book is a revealing look at the life and work of Nobel laureate Toni Morrison.

Stephanie Li argues that American politicians and writers are using a new kind of language to speak about race. Challenging the notion that we have moved into a """"post-racial"""" era, she suggests that we are in an uneasy moment where American public discourse demands that race be seen, but not heard.
