Book excerpt: Existentialist Thought in African American Literature before 1940 consciously acknowledges the existential currents that are profoundly embedded in African American literature, establishing a rich legacy of existentialist thought that predates Richard Wright’s existential birth.This collection fuses together discussions of existentialist thought and African American literature in an effort to rethink and even re-frame African American literary traditions, showing that several texts, and even most canonical texts, lack a systematic study through an existential lens.
