Black Autobiographies as History and Literature

Blassingame, John W.

Black Scholar, 5, 4, 2-9, Dec 73-Jan 74

Argues that in order to understand the contemporary state of black literature, history, and protest, we must study the developments which occurred between 1789 and 1930 in the writing of black autobiographies; the central theme which runs through these autobiographies is the demand for the recognition of black manhood.
