Description and Table of Contents
Description
Who Set You Flowin is the first sustained study of migration as it is portrayed in African American literature, letters, music and painting. This book, identifies the "migration narrative" as a dominant African American cultural tradition. Covering a period from 1923 to 1992, Griffin provides close readings of novels, autobiographies, songs, poetry and painting; in so doing she carves out a framework that allows for a more inclusive reading of African
American cultural forms.
