The Portrayal of Africana Males in Achebe, Marshall, Morrison, and Wideman.
Beckmann, Felicia
Journal of Black Studies, v32 n4 p405-21 Mar 2002
Examines Hudson-Weems' book, "Africana Womanism: Reclaiming Ourselves," which highlights 18 qualities of Africana women and briefly addresses 18 characteristics of Africana males. This article takes these 18 characteristics for men and applies them to male characters from four novels, which together chronicle the decline of the Africana people and their struggle to remain free and authentic.
