Leseur, Geta

Black Scholar, v17 n2 p26-33 Mar-Apr 1986

Discusses the literary style of Bildungsroman of various West Indian and American writers. The need of various authors to look back, to reassess one's childhood from the vantage point of maturity is discussed as it relates to the wishes to establish an authoritative basis of experience and reinterpret a fragmentary past.
