Black Manhood in James Baldwin, Ernest J. Gaines, and August Wilson

From Frederick Douglass onwards, the preoccupation of black writers with manhood and masculinity is a constant. This title explores how in their own work three major African American writers contest classic portrayals of black men in earlier literature, from slave narratives through the great novels of Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison.
