  • African American Literature Beyond Race

    Gene Andrew JarrettBOOKAfrican American Literature…2022

    It is widely accepted that the canon of African American literature has racial realism at its core: African American protagonists, social settings, cultural symbols, and racial-political discourse. As a result, writings that are not preoccupied with race have long been invisible—unpublished, out of print, absent from libraries, rarely discussed among scholars, and omitted from anthologies. However, some of our most celebrated African American aut…

  • Shadow Archives

    Gene Andrew JarrettARTICLEThe New England Quarterly2021

    More than any other scholar, Jean-Christophe Cloutier has elucidated the problems of archival methodology, biography, and literary history that coincided with the rise of institutional collections of African American literary papers in the twentieth century. His new book, Shadow Archives: The Lifecycles of African American Literature, reveals how the African American literary imagination from the New Negro Renaissance of the 1920s to the present—…

  • Spirit in the Dark

    Gene Andrew JarrettARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    Josef Sorett's Spirit in the Dark is an outstanding history and critique of the purported divide between the secular and the spiritual in African American literary history. The main title of his book is borrowed from Aretha Franklin's 1970 song, which encapsulated the blurring of sensuality and spirituality, and, more broadly, between the doctrines of racial aesthetics and religion that had characterized African American literary and intellectual…

  • “To Refute Mr. Jefferson’s Arguments Respecting Us”

    Gene Andrew JarrettARTICLEEarly American literature2011

    “To Refute Mr. Jefferson’s Arguments Respecting Us”Thomas Jefferson, David Walker, and the Politics of Early African American Literature Gene Andrew Jarrett (bio) Describing the political genealogy of early African American literature potentially opens the proverbial can of worms, if a 2006 roundtable published in Early American Literature is any indication.

  • A Companion to African American Literature

    "A master archivist and historian of African American literature, Gene Jarrett has assembled a compelling new collection of essays for this necessary addition to the study of African American writing and thought.

  • Deans and Truants

    Gene Andrew JarrettBOOKDeans and Truants2007

    For a work to be considered African American literature, does it need to focus on African American characters? Or is it enough for the author to be identified as African American? Jarrett traces the shifting definitions of African American literature and the authors who wrote beyond those boundaries at the cost of critical dismissal or obscurity
