In this series of interlocking essays, which
had their start as lectures inspired by
the presidency of
Barack
Obama,
Robert
Burns Stepto sets canonical works of
African American literature in conver¬
sation with Obama s Dreams from My
Father. The elegant readings that result
shed surprising tight on unexamined an¬
gles of works ranging from Frederick
Douglass s Narrative to W. E. B.
Du Bois s
Souls of Black Folk to
Toni
Morrison s
Song of Solomon.
Stepto draws our attention to the
concerns that recur in the books he takes
up: how protagonists raise themselves,
often without one or both parents; how
black boys invent black manhood, often
with no models before them; how pro¬
tagonists seek and find a home else¬
where; and how they create personalities
that can deal with the pain of abandon¬
ment. These are age-old themes in
African American literature that, Stepto
shows, gain a special poignancy and im¬
portance because our president has lived
through these situations and circum¬
stances and has written about them in a
way that refreshes our understanding of
the whole of African American literature.
Stepto amplifies these themes in
four additional essays, which investi¬
gate Douglass s correspondence with
Harriet Beecher Stowe;
Wil
lard Savoy s
novel Alien Land and its interracial pro¬
tagonist; the writer s understanding of
the reader in African American litera¬
ture; and Stepto s account of his own
schoolhouse lessons, with their echoes
of Douglass s and Obama s experiences.
