On this page: Personalities Dictionary Encyclopedia Works Literature WordNet US History Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Ralph Ellison Personalities View Poster Ralph Ellison Writer Ralph Ellison gained international fame and won the National Book Award for his first novel Invisible Man (1952), the story of an alienated and isolated black man living in racially repressive urban America. Ellison grew up in Oklahoma and aimed for a career in jazz music. Instead he moved to New York City in 1936 and turned to writing, encouraged by other African-American writers, including Langston Hughes and Ralph Wright. During World War II he served in the Merchant Marines and published short stories. After his remarkable debut, Ellison was considered one of the most important writers in America. Reluctant to assume the role of a representative for his race, Ellison always maintained that in his book he was pursuing art more than he was pursuing racial justice. Although he lectured and published collections of essays ( Shadow and Act in 1964 and Going to the Territory in 1986), he worked for forty years on a second novel without finishing it. His literary executor and friend, John Callahan, put together the manuscript after Ellison died and the novel was published as

    Extractions: "Humez's long-awaited biography of Tubman is the definitive scholarly work. "—Nell Irvin Painter, Princeton University Harriet Tubman's name is known world-wide and her exploits as a self-liberated Underground Railroad heroine are celebrated in children's literature, film, and history books, yet no major biography of Tubman has appeared since 1943. Jean M. Humez's comprehensive Harriet Tubman Humez includes an extended discussion of Tubman's work as a public performer of her own life history during the nearly sixty years she lived in the North. Drawing upon historiographical and literary discussion of the complex hybrid authorship of slave narrative literature, Humez analyzes the interactive dynamic between Tubman and her interviewers. Humez illustrates how Tubman, though unable to write, made major unrecognized contributions to the shaping of her own heroic myth by early biographers like Sarah Bradford. Selections of key documents illustrate how Tubman appeared to her contemporaries, and a comprehensive list of primary sources represents an important resource for scholars.
