Reid-Pharr, Robert F. (Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Program in Comparative American Cultures, Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Program in Comparative American Cultures, Johns Hopkins University)
Arguing that gender and sexuality have always played a role in questions of black national identity, the author identifies the origins of a "national" African-American literature in 1827 and the beginnings of a novelistic tradition. He shows how various forces shaped the ideal of the black family.
