Summary

1. "This collection of essays analyzes contemporary novels from major African American writers, such as Gayl, Jones, Phyllis Alesia Perry, Percival Everett, John Edgar Wideman, and Colson Whiteheadn, and ethnic American novelists like Jeffrey Eugendes, Philip Roth, Gish Jen, and Sergio Troncoso. It also includes the study of a painting by African American artist Robert Colescott. The first section of the book examines the inscription of African American writers' relation to the nation's past, the trauma of slavery, the burden of foundational discourses, or the legacy of the classical philosophical canon."
