13. Afro-american literature (Douglas, Wright, Morrison)

African American literature, body of literature written by Americans of African descent. Beginning in the pre-Revolutionary War period, African American writers have engaged in a creative, dialogue with American letters. The result is a literature rich in expressive subtlety and social insight, offering illuminating assessments of American identities and history.. Frederick Douglass  1818 was an African-American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement, antislavery writing. He stood as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens.^[  Douglass wrote several autobiographies. He eloquently described his experiences as a slave in his 1845 autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave,. Richard Nathaniel Wright (Uncle Tom's Children , The Man Who Was Almost a Man) was an African-American author of sometimes controversial novels, short stories, poems, and non-fiction. Much of his literature concerns racial themes, especially those involving the plight of African Americans during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. Toni Morrison (Song of Solomon, Paradise, Beloved ) is an American novelist, editor, and professor. Her novels are known for their epic themes, vivid dialogue, and richly detailed characters.
