Abstract

ABSTRACT: The following conversation with leading scholars in the fields of Black Atlantic literatures and cultures, life writing, and literary studies offers a number of considerations on the state of Black (Atlantic) print culture studies, its potential to revise our understanding of African American literature, its intersections with other disciplines and contemporary fiction, and its lasting radical legacies. In so doing, the discussion comes full circle by harking back to the work of Frances Smith Foster, who opens this collection, as part of the genealogy of scholarship on Black print culture.
