Each volume a beautiful and powerful selection of stories that engage powerful themes of our history and nation through the eyes and voices of a wide range of vivid characters. With a lyrical, sensual, and often gripping style, bringing to life compelling voices whose worlds and experiences are at once both central to mainstream America and outside it. Letting us hear both female and male characters and even engaging the epistolary form at times, it captures an essence of our contemporary society that we need to feel and understand.

My research focus is defining Digital and New Media trend(s) within (Ethnographic

Groups) contemporary African American culture. Since the Voter’s Rights Act of 1965 there
has been socioeconomic and political shifts redefining the identity [voice] of African
Americans, through technological expansion and constitutional access. Post Rebellion
Fiction1 is the continued verse of political and theoretical rhetoric within the African
American social narrative, post the civil rights era (1865-1970). The focus encompasses
both policy and literature and uses of virtual space as applied theory which interacts
within a social construct. The basic condition of the American experience is adaptation to
Constitutional dogma which is the core aspect of the post-civil rights-African American.
