Figures in Black: Words, Signs, and the `Racial' Self
Gates, Henry Louis, Jr. (Chairman of the Department of Afro-American Studies, and W. E. B. DuBois Professor of the Humanities, Chairman of the Department of Afro-American Studies, and W. E. B. DuBois Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University)
In this insightful volume, Gates focuses critcal attention on the most repressed element of African-American criticism - the language of the text. Incorporating the theoretical insights of critics such as Bakhtin, Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, and Bloom, he explores the work of a wide range of African-American writers from Phillis Wheatley to Ishmael Reed and Alice Walker.
