Book Synopsis African American Authors, 1745-1945 by : Emmanuel S. Nelson
Download or read book African American Authors, 1745-1945 written by Emmanuel S. Nelson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-01-30 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in early African American writing. Since the accidental rediscovery and republication of Harriet Wilson's Our Nig in 1983, the works of dozens of 19th and early 20th century black writers have been recovered and reprinted. There is now a significant revival of interest in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s; and in the last decade alone, several major assessments of 18th and 19th century African American literature have been published. Early African American literature builds on a strong oral tradition of songs, folktales, and sermons. Slave narratives began to appear during the late 18th and early 19th century, and later writers began to engage a variety of themes in diverse genres. A central objective of this reference book is to provide a wide-ranging introduction to the first 200 years of African American literature. Included are alphabetically arranged entries for 78 black writers active between 1745 and 1945. Among these writers are essayists, novelists, short story writers, poets, playwrights, and autobiographers. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a biography, a discussion of major works and themes, an overview of the author's critical reception, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography.
Book Synopsis Bubber Goes to Heaven by : Arna Bontemps
Download or read book Bubber Goes to Heaven written by Arna Bontemps and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Arna Bontemps in the early 1930s, this highly original tale recounts ten-year old Bubber's hunting trip with his Uncle Demus gone awry. Scaling the boughs of a giant tree called Nebuchadnezzar in pursuit of a raccoon, Bubber accidentally breaks a branch and crashes to the ground. The rest of the story is Bubber's dream while lying unconscious on the forest floor. Lifted by the strong arms of a couple of angels, the little Southern boy is flown to Heaven, where he discovers that life is very much the same as on Earth, except that everyone wears long nightgowns and sports wings. Not one to be left behind, Bubber grows wings and struggles to fly, joins Sister Esther's church band, discovers the joys of unlimited free food, and meets one of Heaven's finest. When he finally regains consciousness, he finds himself back in his bed at home, surrounded by Uncle Demus and other anxious members of his family. Yet he could still hear Sister Esther and the youngsters cheering him on, "Keep a-flapping your wings, Bubber, Bubber." This previously unpublished children's book showcases the full range of Arna Bontemps prodigious talent. The gentle lyricism and delicate humor of the story combine with the Alabama locale, biblical references, folk heritage, and a faithful recreation of the Deep South black dialect to produce a richly personal narrative. Bubber's story, an early predecessor of Bontemps acclaimed children's literary classic --Lonesome Boy--is an honest, memorable picture of black Southern life, recreating its full-blooded vitality, close family ties, strong connection with the land and countryside, deeply ingrained superstitions and religious beliefs. The author also succeeds in subtly relaying the problems and concerns dominating the black experience. The little boy's dream of Heaven is a veiled yearning for a better life, for "the promised land" where all his troubles disappear, justice prevails, everybody has work, children of different races play and sing together, and hard times are gone for good. Elegantly illustrated by Brooklyn-based artist Daniel Minter, Bubber Goes to Heaven is a sensitive, resonant tale in the great tradition of oral storytelling.
