Description

In What’s a Black Critic to Do II, literary critic Donna Bailey Nurse once again gathers together profiles, reviews, interviews, and essays that examine race, culture, and multiculturalism through the lens of literature. This collection, featuring well-known writers, such as Lawrence Hill, Afua Cooper, Christopher Paul Curtis, Natasha Trethewey, Toni Morrison, David Chariandy, Joseph Boyden, and Kwame Dawes. What’s a Black Critic to Do II is of especial interest to black readers as well as teachers, librarians, and book clubs. This companion to 2003’s What’s a Black Critic to Do? constitutes a candid conversation about race in an ostensibly “post-racial” world.
