Although they have written in various genres, African American writers as notable and diverse as W.E.B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, and Alice Walker have done their most influential work in the essay form. In this volume, Cheryl A. Wall offers the first sustained study of the African American essay as a distinct literary genre.
