エディション・シナプスでは、 多文化アメリカ文学研究のテーマ別論文を各4-5巻にまとめるコレクションの出版を始めておりますが、第1弾として2011年に刊行した『ネイティブ・アメリカン文学―英語論文集成』全4巻、第2弾『アジア系アメリカ文学』(2012年春刊行予定)に続き、2012年秋にアフリカ系アメリカ文学に関する研究論文、批評集成を刊行いたします。

80点強の文献を集める本集成は、いままでの主要作家の選集や特定テーマの学生向けリーダーやハンドブックとは異なり、アフリカ系アメリカ人の歴史・文化研究へも目配りしながら今後のアフリカ系アメリカ文学研究の指針となる先行論文や批評を包括的に集め、テーマ別に編集しています。口承文学や最初期の奴隷たちの自伝的記述、W・E・B・デュボイス、フレデリック・ダグラスといった指導者達の言論、文学?芸術?音楽?ダンスなどアフリカ系 アメリカ文化が一気に開花した1920年代のハーレム・ルネサンス、そしてジェイムズ・ボールドウィン、アリス・ウォーカー、トニ・モリソンを始め戦後から今日にいたる作家の小説、詩、戯曲等々、あらゆる時代とテーマに関する論述を網羅しています。マイノリティー文学研究の第一人者である編者による浩瀚な解説が書き下ろされ、詳細な書誌、年表などの付加資料とともに収載されます。アフリカ系アメリカ文学研究は元より、今後のアメリカ文学・文化の統括的研究・教育に不可欠な文献集です。
