Yogita Goyal analyzes the tensions between romance and realism in the literature of the African diaspora, examining a remarkably diverse group of twentieth-century authors, including W. E. B. Du Bois, Chinua Achebe, Richard Wright, Ama Ata Aidoo and Caryl Phillips. Shifting the center of black diaspora studies by considering Africa as constitutive of black modernity rather than its forgotten past, Goyal argues that it is through the figure of romance that the possibility of diaspora is imagined across time and space. Drawing on literature, political history and postcolonial theory, this significant addition to the cross-cultural study of literatures will be of interest to scholars of African American studies, African studies and American literary studies.\u00a0 \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0521763592?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0521763592\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0521763592?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0521763592\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Goyal, Yogita. <em>Romance, Diaspora, and Black Atlantic Literature<\/em>.
