By analyzing the different forms of autobiography, including pictorial and personal essays, editorials, oral histories, testimonials, diaries, personal and open letters, and even poetry performance media of autobiographies, this book extends the definition of African American autobiography, revealing how people of African descent have created and defined the Black self in diverse print cultures and literary genres since their arrival in the Americas. It illustrates ways African Americans use life writing and autobiography to address personal and collective Black experiences of identity, family, memory, fulfillment, racism and white supremacy. Individual chapters examine scrapbooks as a source of self-documentation, African American autobiography for children, readings of African American persona poems, mixed-race life writing after the Civil Rights Movement, and autobiographies by African American LGBTQ writers."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African American authors $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Autobiography $x African American authors. 650 0 $a Biography as a literary form. 650 0 $a Biography. 650 2 $a Biographies as Topic 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Histoire et critique. $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a EÌcrivains noirs ameÌricains $x Histoire et critique. $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Biographie (Genre litteÌraire) 650 6 $a Biographies. 650 7 $a biographies (literary works) $2 aat 650 7 $a biography (general genre) $2 aat 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Autobiography $x African American authors $2 fast 650 7 $a African American authors $x Biography $2 fast 650 7 $a African Americans $x Biography $2 fast 650 7 $a Biography as a literary form $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Moody, Joycelyn K., $d 1957- $e editor. $4 edt 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108880725 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20231216010540.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC3CD8A29BE011EE97202A6F2DECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
