:
|
Each Hour Redeem advances a major reinterpretation of African American literature from the late eighteenth century to the present by demonstrating how its authors are centrally concerned with racially different experiences of time. Daylanne K.

The first book to explore the representation of time throughout the African American literary canon, Each Hour Redeem illumina.
