African, American by David Peterson Del Mar
A panoramic account of the role Africa has played in the American psyche, covering books, movies, music and more.
Offers an intimate view of the intertwined relationship between Americans and AfricansThrough a comprehensive yet sensitive analytical reading of fiction, autobiography and film, Del Mar shows just how much Africa has and continues to shape what it means to be American. * Kathryn Mathers, Duke University *
Demonstrates how Americans projected their own gender, class, and racial psychoses into their experiences and renderings of the African Continent. Del Mar seeks a critical approach not to what Africa is, but to how Americans have perceived it. With this comprehensive source, we might begin to understand the difference. * Leslie James, University of Birmingham *
