Review Quotes: "Providing singularly fresh new readings of some of the ur-texts of African American studies ... Harvey Young's Embodying Black Experience also forge[s] new ground by placing these works in conversation with offerings that have as yet garnered scant scholarly attention."
--American Literature--Suzanne Schneider, Bryn Mawr College "American Literature"
