Reviews

Using Critical Whiteness studies, James Baldwin's notion of love and empathy, and framing them within Mary Watkins's concept of accompaniment, E. Lâle Demirtürk's (Inter)racial Relationships as Accompaniment in Twenty-First Century African American Novels examines four contemporary African American novels, focusing on how they deconstruct the discursive practices of whiteness and imagine a world of interracial social encounters. It is a continuation of her groundbreaking critical work on the contemporary African American novel. --W. Lawrence Hogue, University of Houston, author of ""Postmodernism, Traditional Cultural Forms, and African American Narratives""
