The Development of the African American Literary Voice

Abstract

“The Development of the African American Literary Voice” explores the development of the voice of the downtrodden in American literary canon to assert their rights and liberties as they fought for the same through different means in their real lives. The paper examines how the socio-political scenario of victimization due to white supremacist racist ideology had led to their victimization and how the Blacks fought their way forward to assert themselves as a part of the American nation. Fighting racial stereotypes and prejudices, the history of African Americans is long, and so is the literary rendition.
