The origins of African American literature, 1680-1865

the long version

WARNING! Should this "DUMB-DOWN" book list a "Phillis Wheatley" and a "Jupiter Hammon" then throw it in the recycle bin ... because these two "First-of-a-type-Negro" (or, Zora's: "niggerati"), like George Moses Horton, Nat Turner and David Walker, are historical ciphers and never existed! See Arthur Graham "Southern Renaissance: Subliminal Omni Ciphers & the Autotelic Structure of the Land and Slave Kingdom of God" (BSLF, Los Angeles - Released Dec 21, 2012. ISBN 978-0-9883848-0-4)
