What are the racial politics (ideological agendas related to racial
oppression or liberation) of specific African American works? For
example, does the work correct stereotypes of African Americans;
correct historical misrepresentations of African Americans; celebrate
African American culture, experience, and achievement; or explore
racial issues, including, among others, the economic, social, or
psychological effects of racism? Or as can be seen in the literary
production of many white authors, does the work reinforce racist
ideologies?
