Black British Writing

This collection of essays provides an imaginative international perspective on ways to incorporate black British writing and culture in the study of English literature, and presents theoretically sophisticated and practical strategies for doing so. It offers a pedagogical, pragmatic and ideological introduction to the field for those without background, and an integrated body of current and stimulating essays for those who are already knowledgeable.

Lauri Ramey is Associate Professor of English at California State University, Los Angeles. R. Victoria Arana is Professor of English at Howard University.
