Building on the discoveries of his critically acclaimed Odysseys Home, Clarke passionately analyses the beautiful complexities and haunting conundrums of this important body of literature. Directions Home explores the trajectories and tendencies of African-Canadian literature within the Canadian canon and the socio-cultural traditions of the African Diaspora. Clarke showcases the importance of little-known texts, including church histories and slave narratives, and offers studies of autobiography, crime and punishment, jazz poetics, and musical composition. The collection also includes studies of significant contemporary writers such as George Boyd and Dionne Brand, and trailblazing African-Canadian intellectuals like A.B. Walker and Anna Minerva Henderson. With its national, bilingual, and historical perspectives, Directions Home is an essential guide to African-Canadian literature." --Publisher's description. 0aCanadian literaturexBlack authorsxHistory and criticism.9198231 0aAfricans in literature.9198232 0aBlack people in literature.9198233 0aRace in literature.9198234  a= C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c105424d105424  00102lcc406PR9188 C591 D2012708CGB9282196aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-09-17e2l0oPR9188 C591 D 2012p1000373267r2025-09-17 00:00:00tC.1w2025-09-17yGBE
