Abstract
Abstract:Developing what I term a “baseball imaginary,” E. Ethelbert Miller invokes the national pastime in his memoirs and poetry as a vehicle for reckoning with antiblackness on the one hand and realizing the promise of beloved community on the other. Indeed, Miller has contributed more to the Black baseball literature corpus than any other writer, but his renderings of baseball have yet to receive the scholarly consideration they warrant—a critical gap this essay begins to fill.
期刊介绍：
As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
