Home is a powerful metaphor guiding the literature of African Americans throughout the twentieth century. This book creates new and sophisticated possibilities for a critical engagement with African American literature by presenting a careful examination of the place of home in five classic novels: Native Son by Richard Wright, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, The Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, and Corregidora by Gayl Jones.
