Rezensionen
"The Wiley Blackwell Anthology of African AmericanLiterature is a comprehensive collection of poems, short stories,novellas, novels, plays, autobiographies, and essays authored byAfrican Americans from the eighteenth century until the present.Evenly divided into two volumes, it is also the first suchanthology to be conceived and published for both classroom andonline education in the new millennium."
"Gene Andrew Jarrett reintroduces to us voices that we donot often hear in anthologies. Works by Harryette Mullen,Suzan-Lori Parks, Walter Mosely, and Percival Everett, amongothers, glow and sing here, and complete the broad mosaic thatProfessor Jarrett so successfully reconstructs of twentieth- andtwenty-first-century literature by people of Africandescent."
"Expansive, instructive, fascinating and surprising, thismagnificent anthology is pieced together with superb editorialjudgment and offers insights on every page. Here is a rich,many-voiced literary tradition unfolding across the centuries inall its exhilarating diversity and unmatched power. Certain tobecome seminal and essential, this is a treasure that belongs onall our bookshelves."
"A deeply and dynamically qualitative engagement with thecomplex history of African American literary expression, from itsbroad, interconnecting roots through to its diverse socio-politicaloutlook. As Gene Andrew Jarrett attests, this is not anencyclopedic volume, nor does it intend to be: instead, Jarrettprovides the reader with a cogent and memorable seminar in theintellectual history of U.S. Black creative expression. Essentialanalyses of style, genre, and artistic revolutions are presenthere, allowing each selection to retain its unique contributioneven while locating it within collective movements. Forinstructors, this anthology will provide even neophytes with arich, layered, and nuanced understanding of a grand tradition; forscholars and lay readers alike, this anthology offers a new yetgrounded take on a literature and a people three centuries old yetalways in the making and (re)making."
"With its recognition of the claims and issues of a newmillennium, the Wiley Blackwell Anthology of African AmericanLiterature - in its desire to unsettle traditions, itsrepresentation of African American literary diversity, its playfuldecentering of canonical protocols, and its delight in the ironiesof racial expression - may well be called the firstpostmodern African American literary anthology. For AfricanAmericanist scholars and teachers, this anthology is along-awaited treasure. With its excellent periodintroductions, headnotes, textual annotations, a glossary andtimeline that present the latest scholarship, this anthologyresponds to the contemporary moment. Along with what theeditors calls a "scholarly and pedagogic ecosystem"that connects the print anthology with an entire audio and visualnetwork of scholarship and pedagogy, this anthology is not onlyresponding to, but creating, the contemporary study and teaching ofAfrican American literature."
"The Wiley-Blackwell Anthology of African American Literature isa welcome new intervention, full of strikingly fresh choices andfeaturing as many works in their entirety, and as many longerselections of major works, as possible. These volumes willhelp recast the vast range of U.S. black writing for a generationto come."
