Sacraments of Memory: Catholicism and Slavery in Contemporary African American Literature
Erin Michael Salius
Argues that Catholicism informs a major genre of African American literature in ways and with a significance that has gone largely unrecognised. Sacraments of Memory thus proposes a new framework for understanding the revisionist aims of these works, contextualizing the scepticism they exhibit towards historical realism in terms of a Catholic counter-tradition in American literature.
