Description - The Art of the Black Essay by Cheryl Butler
The power of the African American essay to bring about a meditative shift in the minds of readers, to catapult them beyond racial ideology, by immersing them in it, and to elicit in them, ultimately, democratic change, is unveiled in this book. The work outlines specific tools of the trade, literary techniques through which the democratisation process works: double consciousness, the uncanny moment, the meditative moment and transcendency. Four African American authors are used as models, essentially for how Americans conflicted by the pull of two cultural identities can find peace.
