African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives. The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s was a great period of flowering in literature and the arts, influenced both by writers who came North in the Great Migration and those who were immigrants from Jamaica and other Caribbean islands.

Der Harlem Renaissance-Klassiker erstmals auf Deutsch! Banana Bottom, um 1910: Bita Plant ist kaum wiederzuerkennen, als sie nach Jamaika zurückkehrt – in England ist die junge Schwarze zur vollendeten britischen Lady erzogen worden. Reverend Malcolm Craig und seine Frau Priscilla, Bitas weiße Zieheltern, die ihr die Ausbildung ermöglicht haben, sind hochzufrieden – und der perfekte Bräutigam für Bita steht auch schon bereit. Gemeinsam soll das junge Paar in die Fußstapfen der Craigs treten und später einmal die Leitung der Mission übernehmen. Doch Bita fühlt sich magisch angezogen von der karibischen Kultur und ihren leidenschaftlichen, lebensfrohen Menschen. Hin und her gerissen zwischen ihren jamaikanischen Wurzeln und der elitären Welt der Weißen kämpft sie um ihre Identität und darum, ihren eigenen Weg im Leben zu finden. »Ich wollte nie jemand anderes sein als ich selbst.« Bita Plant, Banana Bottom

Home To Harlem

Voi che state per perdervi tra le vie e tra i colori di Harlem, attenti: alcool, fumo, sesso e gioco d’azzardo grondano dalle pagine di questo libro. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1928, Ritorno a Harlem è il romanzo con cui Claude McKay fece conoscere al mondo intero i colori e le passioni di una cultura, quella afroamericana, che ha saputo mescolare avanguardia e sensualità, riscatto sociale e lussuria sfrenata. La Harlem di McKay non è semplicemente un quartiere, ma è un ostinato jazz che si distende sotto forma di romanzo, è amore carnale che parla con una prosa potente e rapida, è un odore forte e pungente emanato da ogni singola sillaba del libro che ha ispirato uomini come Martin Luther King.
