Haunting and Displacement in African American Literature and Culture - Paperback

Looking at texts by authors including Toomer, Morrison, Baldwin, and Kaufmann, in this study Parham describes the phenomena of haunting, displacement, and ghostliness as endemic to modern African American literature and culture. Not only does memory often drive African American cultural production, but such memory often arrives to artists from elsewhere, from other times, spaces, and experiences.
