Recenzje

Towards Post-Blackness: A Critical Study of Rita Dove's Poetry is a much-needed revisiting of Black aesthetics in the twenty-first century. I believe that this study on Post-Blackness and on Rita Dove as a Post-Black poet will be of great use to scholars of African-American literature and race studies. I would definitely recommend it as a valuable addition to the body of critical work available on the subject. -Dr. Ishrat Bashir, Assistant Professor, Department of English, Central University of Kashmir, Ganderbal, Kashmir Author of The Naked Truth and Other Stories
