Poetry and Politics: A Special Encounter with Sonia Sanchez, Arlette Frund (University of Tours, France), Guest Editor

This special issue grew out of "Poetry and Politics: Sonia Sanchez's Works," a one-day symposium that African-Americanist scholars at France's University of Tours organized, in collaboration with the CEAA (Cercle d'Etudes Afro-Américaines), and held at Tours in June 2001. The issue's guest editor, Dr. Arlette Frund, Assistant Professor of American Literature at Tours, has recently organized several international Colloquia and scholarly volumes on African-American and American literature and culture.

The issue features scholarly essays by contributors Paola Boi, Francoise Clary, Genevieve Fabre, Arlette Frund, and Ugo Rubeo.
