Literary writers of the new African diaspora are at the forefront of exploring these exciting approaches to what black subjectivity means. \u003ci\u003ePan-African American Literature\u003c\/i\u003e is dedicated to charting the contours of literature by African born or identified authors centered around life in the United States. The texts examined here deliberately signify on the African American literary canon to encompass new experiences of immigration, assimilation and identification that challenge how blackness has been previously conceived. Though race often alienates and frustrates immigrants who are accustomed to living in all-black environments, Stephanie Li holds that it can also be a powerful form of community and political mobilization. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eSignifyin(g) on the Slave Narrative: African Memoirs of War and Displacement \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eUncanny Rememories in Teju Cole's Open City\u003cbr\u003e 3 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe Impossibility of Invisibility in the Novels of Dinaw Mengestu\u003cbr\u003e 4 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eRefiguring the Ancestor in the Fiction of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie\u003cbr\u003e 5 \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBecoming his own Father: Obama's Dreams from My Father\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: Blackness Now\u003cbr\u003e Works Cited \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563723878680,"sku":"9780813592787","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/pan-african-american-literature-signifying-immigrants-in-the-twenty-first-century-hardback-9780813592787","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
