Peer reviewedBlassingame, John W. – Black Scholar, 1973
Argues that in order to understand the contemporary state of black literature, history, and protest, we must study the developments which occurred between 1789 and 1930 in the writing of black autobiographies; the central theme which runs through these autobiographies is the demand for the recognition of black manhood.

Kashuba, Irma Mercedes – 1985
Although it is rare to see French literature in the French civilization syllabus, it is relatively easy to incorporate short stories into the course which allow for quick reading and discussion. It is best to choose the best writers, who communicate the spirit of the time in which they wrote, from the point of view of the artist rather than the…
