Bruce's engaging history traces the origins and context of African American literature, highlighting key influences, rather than surveying all the examples. Among the influences discussed are English literary conventions, the writing of Phillis Wheatley, the development of an authoritative black persona and perspective, and the rise of immediatist abolition. Bruce teaches history at the U. of California, Irvine. c. Book News Inc.
