And to Jack, who never ceases to bring me joy.

The story of the Negro in America
is the story of Americaor more precisely,
it is the story of Americans.

Acknowledgments

I wish to thank Elizabeth McHenry, for her words of encouragement and criticism; without her guidance and support this book would not have come to fruition. I am also indebted to Ross Posnock who inspired this project and whose intellectual example continues to guide my work. I would like to thank George Shulman, Cyrus Patell, Megan Obourn and the other participants in the 20th Century American Literature and Political Theory seminar for their inspiring conversation and lively debate; this groups ongoing dedication to exploring the intersections of aesthetics and politics has been an indispensable source of insight and reflection. Thanks are also in order to the participants and organizers of the Critical Race Analysis and Literary Studies group and the Modern Colloquium at New York University. These diverse and rigorous intellectual circles have provided a critical space for discussion and debate, as well as a sense of intellectual community amidst what is often the solitary work of researching, writing and revising.
