The trickster comes west

This book explores relationships among African American, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-British narratives of slavery and of New World and British oppression and what African influences brought to these diasporic expressions. It examines the work of Pan-African trickster icons, such as Leuk (rabbit), Golo (monkey), Bouki (hyena), Mbe (tortoise), and Anancy (spider), on the resistance strategies of early black writers who were exposing the evils of slavery, racism, sexism, economic exploitation, and other forms of oppression.
