Internal Re-”sources”: The Just Society in the Black Literary Imagination
Catherine John ’88 is an associate professor of African diaspora studies in the English department at the University of Oklahoma. She is the author of Clear Word and Third Sight: Folk Groundings and Diasporic Consciousness in African Caribbean Writing (2003).
