On the one hand, some Black women writers have been heavily anthologized, they have more often than not been restricted by critical metanarratives. Some of their works have been lionized while others remain neglected. On the other hand, some Black women writers have been ignored and understudied. This collection corrects the gaps in our critical thinking about Black women writers by introducing them to a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students, and by presenting pedagogical essays to our colleagues currently working in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Eschewing Social Science and Defying Categorization: An Introduction to Contemporary Black Women Writers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaToya Jefferson-James\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: “You Can’t Run from the Street”: Failed Escapes in Ann Petry’s The Street (1947) and Shay Youngblood’s Black Girl in Paris (2000)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShahara’Tova V.
