Braxton is an American poet, critic and professor, whose work has received praise by figures such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Maya Angelou In this book, Braxton studies autobiographical writing by Black Women, reframing these writings within Black and Feminist Studies, and locates them within literary tradition, and specifically in the history of Black Women writing.
The appendices of Joanne Braxton's The Collected Poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar also establish the publication history of many pieces.In this comprehensive and exhaustively researched essay, Braxton analyses autobiographical narrative; from tales of slavery and emancipation like the writings of Harriet Jacobs and Rebecca Cox Jackson, to twentieth century exploration of activism, identity and the Self, from Ida B.
Wells and Maya Angelou. Each chapter is accompanied by black & white photographs. A fantastic copy of a crucial study on Black and feminist studies.
