Résumé : Ces essais analysent des lettres de prison, des romans épistolaires (Alice Walker) et leurs avatars dans le roman contemporain et postmoderne (John Edgar Wideman, Percival Everett) mais aussi des correspondances d'écrivains avec leurs éditeurs (James Baldwin, Charles Chesnutt, Richard Wright) afin de retracer la trajectoire de la lettre dans la culture afro-américaine.

Résumé : La 4ème de couv. indique : "Terrible, unspeakable things happened to Sethe at Sweet Home, the farm where she lived as a slave for many years until she escaped to Ohio.

Sethe's new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved."

Résumé : "A History of African American Poetry: African American poetry is as old as America itself, yet this touchstone of American identity is often overlooked. In this critical history of African American poetry, from its origins in the transatlantic slave trade, to present day hip-hop, Lauri Ramey traces African American poetry from slave songs to today's award-winning poets. Covering a wide range of styles and forms, canonical figures like Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) and Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) are brought side by side with lesser known poets who explored diverse paths of bold originality. Calling for a revised and expanded canon, Ramey shows how some poems were suppressed while others were lauded, while also examining the role of music, women, innovation, and art as political action in African American poetry. Conceiving of a new canon reveals the influential role of African American poetry in defining and reflecting the United States at all points in the nation's history."
