Figures in Black: Words, Signs, and the Racial Self Paperback - 1989
by Henry Louis Gates
First line
Samuel Johnson wrote that much that appears foolish in human behavior can be traced to one cause: the failure to imitate those we least resemble.
From the rear cover
This insightful book, written by a leading scholar in African-American studies, attacks the notion of African-American literature as a kind of social realism. Insisting, instead, that critics focus on the most repressed element of African-American criticism- the language of the text--Henry Louis Gates, Jr. advocates the use of a close, methodical analysis of language, made possible by modern literary theory.
