Book Description:
|
Wendy Walters investigates the work of Chester Himes, Michelle Cliff, and three other twentieth-century black international writers--Caryl Phillips, Simon Njami, and Richard Wright--who have lived in and written from countries they do not call home. Unlike other authors in exile, those of the African diaspora are doubly displaced, first by the discrimination they faced at home and again by their life abroad.
