RACE AND FORM - DEJIN XU KARTONIERT (TB)

This study presents a contextualized narratology of African American autobiography. The author
compares eight autobiographies by seven African American writers from different periods (namely
Frederick Douglass  Booker T. Washington  W.E.B. Du Bois  Zora Neale Hurston  Richard Wright 
Maya Angelou and Gwendolyn Brooks) and focuses on both the issue of race and such formal
elements as temporal arrangement  narrative situation  narrative perspective  present tense 
commentary  unreliability as well as audience. In addition to proposing a major framework for
the narratology of autobiography in the opening chapter  the succeeding practical analyses draw
on other approaches  such as stylistics and rhetoric  which complement narratology in the
investigation of how a story is presented.
