Drawing on extensive archival research, a clearly articulated theoretical framework, and persuasive close textual analyses, he explains how Hughes’s representations of Africa and blackness changed over time as a result of his interactions with writers from Africa and the Caribbean. The scholarship is solid, and exhibits familiarity with and command of an impressive range of primary sources as well as secondary sources on black Atlantic literatures, translation, and postcolonial theory.","brand":"MP-VIR Uni of Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52151130063191,"sku":"9780813944098","price":56.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780813944098.jpg?v=1762960263","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/cultural-entanglements-9780813944098","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
