His proposal is both a historically informed critique of the field and an invigorating challenge to present and future scholars of African American literature. 000452983 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000452983 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$xAfrican American authors$$xHistory and criticism$$xTheory, etc. 000452983 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$xAfrican American authors$$xHistory and criticism. 000452983 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xIntellectual life. 000452983 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans in literature. 000452983 650_0 $$aCriticism$$zUnited States. 000452983 77608 $$iPrint verson:$$aErnest, John.$$tChaotic justice.$$dChapel Hill, [N.C.] : University of North Carolina Press, c2009$$z9780807833377$$z9780807859834$$w(DLC) 2009019735$$w(OCoLC)317929521 000452983 8520_ $$bacq 000452983 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000452983 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=475174$$zOnline Access 000452983 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452983$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452983 980__ $$aEBOOK 000452983 980__ $$aBIB 000452983 982__ $$aEbook 000452983 983__ $$aOnline
