Description
Wendy Walters investigates the work of Chester Himes, Michelle Cliff, and three other twentieth-century black international writersCaryl Phillips, Simon Njami, and Richard Wrightwho have lived in and written from countries they do not call home. Unlike other authors in exile, those of the African diaspora are doubly displaced, first by the discrimination they faced at home and again by their life abroad.
