520 Odysseys Home: Mapping African-Canadian Literatureis a
pioneering study of African-Canadian literary creativity,
laying the groundwork for future scholarly work in the
field. Based on extensive excavations of archives and
texts, this challenging passage through twelve essays
presents a history of the literature and examines its debt
to, and synthesis with, oral cultures. George Elliott
Clarke identifies African-Canadian literature's
distinguishing characteristics, argues for its relevance
to both African Diasporic Black and Canadian Studies, and
critiques several of its key creators and texts. Scholarly
and sophisticated, the survey cites and interprets the
works of several major African-Canadian writers, including
André Alexis, Dionne Brand, Austin Clarke, Claire Harris,
and M. Nourbese Philip. In so doing, Clarke demonstrates
that African-Canadian writers and critics explore the
tensions that exist between notions of universalism and
black nationalism, liberalism and conservatism. These
tensions are revealed in the literature in what Clarke
argues to be -paradoxically -uniquely Canadianandproudly
apart from a mainstream national identity. Clarke has
unearthed vital but previously unconsidered authors, and
charted the relationship between African-Canadian
literature and that of Africa, African America, and the
Caribbean. In addition to the essays, Clarke has assembled
a seminal and expansive bibliography of texts -literature
and criticism -from both English and French Canada. This
important resource will inevitably challenge and change
future academic consideration of African-Canadian
literature and its place in the international literary map
of the African Diaspora.
