A masterful performance, tremendously impressive as a work of literary criticism and theory, historical scholarship, and cultural study....It will become, without question, the standard work in the field, a stimulating source of critical insight and a valuable reference tool - one that everyone who writes about or teaches African American literature will need (and will be eagerl) to own. - William E.
