Turning South Again: Re-Thinking Modernism/Re-Reading Booker T. Paperback - 2001
by Houston A. Baker
A preeminent scholar of African-American literature offers a revisionist account of the struggle for black modernism in the United States. Baker argues that the American South and its history of regulatory institutions--particularly that of incarceration--are at the center of the African-American experience.
First line
What follows represents a black southern mind navigating oceans and landfalls of memory, ineradicable dilemmas of black modernism, protocols of black male subject formation.
From the rear cover
"Baker offers an original blend of self-reflection, cultural inquiry, social critique, and close textual analysis of a classic book in African American history and literature. This is the most revealing study of "Up From Slavery" that I've ever seen and the most personal and self-revealing piece of writing that Baker has ever published."--William L. Andrews, author of "To Tell a Free Story: The First Century of Afro-American Autobiography, 1760-1865"
