Book Synopsis Black Manhood in James Baldwin, Ernest J. Gaines, and August Wilson by : Keith Clark
Book excerpt: Explores the novels, short stories, and plays of three African American writers to demonstrate how they challenged classic portrayals of black men in earlier literature. Discusses how the identity of black men changed from one equated with victimization, isolation, and patriarchy; to one of community, camaraderie, and intimacy.
