Remapping Citizenship and the Nation in African-American Literature

By Stephen Knadler

Book Overview

In this study, Knadler examines how African American writers, often traveling to the margins of a nineteenth and early twentieth-century U.S. Empire, developed sets of cross-racial, cross-national identifications, sympathies and alliances that caused them to challenge dominant ideas of U.S. nationalism, democracy and citizenship.
