Turning South Again Re-Thinking Modernism/Re-Reading Booker T.

"A book by Baker tends to be something of an event in the field-the field being not only African American literature but also cultural studies impinging on Americana. His books have an impact, cause discussion, and provoke debates. This one, however, seems to me unusually well motivated. Personal matters have moved Baker to outdo himself in the sharpness of his observations, the power of his insights, and the vigor of his language."-Arnold Rampersad, Stanford UniversityBaker, Houston A., Jr. is the author of 'Turning South Again Re-Thinking Modernism/Re-Reading Booker T.', published 2001 under ISBN 9780822326953 and ISBN 0822326957.
