In English
The latest work from pioneering scholar George Elliott Clarke, Directions Home is
the most comprehensive analysis of African-Canadian texts and writers to date. 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
