More about the book

Classifies the postmodern slave narratives of Ishmael Reed, Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Charles Johnson, Jewelle Gomez, and Samuel Delaney under one conceptual framework--"re-forming" the past--and argues that their distinctly African American form of postmodern slave narrative forces the reader to question the ideologies set forth by earlier, "realistic" depictions of slavery.
