Previous studies of modern African Americans have either ignored the journey or have interpreted it in very different, usually pessimistic, terms. Contemporary African American Fiction focuses on the journey as a limitless process of renewal, self-creation, and culture building, stressing the persistent vitality of the open journey in African American literature, its wonderfully protean ability to assume an endless series of liberating new forms.
