{"product_id":"gloria-naylor-critical-perspectives-past-and-present","title":"Gloria Naylor: Critical Perspectives Past and Present","description":"xii, 322 pp. In the history of the African-American literary tradition, perhaps no author has been immersed in the formal history of that tradition than Gloria Naylor. As an undergraduate student of Afro-American literature at Brooklyn College and a graduate student of Afro-American studies at Yale, Naylor has analyzed the works of her male and female antecedents in a manner that was impossible before the late seventies. And, while she is a citizen of the republic of literature in the broadest and most cosmopolitan sense, her work suggest formal linkage to that of Ann Petry, James Baldwin, and, more recently, Toni Morrison.","brand":"Amistad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39559389806662,"sku":"2317263","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2317263.jpg?v=1635264153","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/gloria-naylor-critical-perspectives-past-and-present","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
