Characterized by oral expression and ritual performance, the black church has been a dynamic force in African American culture. In The Sermon and the African American Literary Imagination, Dolan Hubbard explores the profound influence of the sermon upon both the themes and the styles of African American literature. Beginning with an exploration of the historic role of the preacher in African American culture and fiction, Hubbard examines the church as a forum for organizing black social reality.

(Published in 1903, The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du...)
Published in 1903, The Souls of Black Folk by W. E. B. Du Bois was a landmark achievement, moving American philosophy beyond the structures of pragmatism and positivism as it addressed new questions about American social and political history. One hundred years later, Du Bois's classic has clearly resonated through twentieth-century thought, offering a critical perspective on the political, social, and economic barriers imposed upon blacks in America. This important new book is the first collection of essays to examine sustainedly The Souls of Black Folk from a variety of disciplines: aesthetics, art history, classics, communications, history, literature, music, political science, and psychology.

Quotations:
"I was inspired to write by my teachers at Granite Quarry (North Carolina) Colored Elementary School, from 1957 to 1963. In a rigidly segregated America, these teachers challenged us to be our best and told us that we could achieve anything that we wanted. Rosebud Aggrey, my fourth-grade teacher, from a distinguished Ghanian-American family, always gave her best students extra work and also had our serve as tutors for the slower students. She humanized the learning experience for me."
"When I write, I write to tell the untold stories of these faceless American heroes. By this, I mean that my criticism situates blacks in the American experience as actors and not as reactors. Stylistically, I want my writing to sing, for I feel that criticism need not be dull or dry. For me, criticism is a narrative, and I try to illuminate the drama involved in the critical moment."
