Black Professional Women in Recent American Fiction
Angebote / Angebote:
The author contends that recent American fiction fails to represent black professional women protagonists performing their jobs. The book identifies the extent to which contemporary novels satisfy the "readerly" desires of black middle-class women, and investigates what contributes to those desires and what, exactly, readers want in books. It also examines the technical and cultural factors that contribute to the lack of books with self-empowered black professional female protagonists, and considers The Salt Eaters by Toni Cade Bambara and Waiting to Exhale by Terry McMillan, two novels that function as significant markers in the development of contemporary black women writers' texts.
