This title outlines the specific tools of the trade, literary techniques through which the democratization process works: the uncanny, meditative moment of transcendency. This title also describes a psychological journey experienced by the essayist him\/herself. Essay writing or life-writing is the vehicle to release the pull of ideology - the root of the \"hierarchy of race\" idea. In this book, the author makes a clear distinction between race as biology and race as ideology in order to align race with the culture, values, traditions and art of a people. \u003cem\u003eThe Art of the\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlack Essay\u003c\/em\u003e shows how African American essayists have transcended the pull of two cultural identities and achieved democratic change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 166\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 17, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45835575296197,"sku":"9781138963832","price":102.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/RnPtIAL2f29781138963832.webp?v=1771253767","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-art-of-the-black-essay-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
