- Summary
- Examining an important and often overlooked aspect of most black writers' literary ancestry -- their southernness, Payne argues that characteristically southern themes and narrative forms occur in the novels of Chesnutt, Johnson, Toomer, Wright and Ellison. They contain not just exclusively Afro-American narrative influences but also southern elements visible in the works of Wolfe, Faulkner and O'Connor.
