| Abstract
|
:
|
In this reassessment of postmodernism, the author contends that the fragmentation considered to be characteristic of the postmodern age can in fact be traced to the status of marginalized American and Afro-American writers of the 1930s to 1950s, such as West, Nin, Barnes, Allison and Brooks.
