Classifies the postmodern slave narratives of Ishmael Reed, Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Charles Johnson, Jewelle Gomez, and Samuel Delaney under one conceptual framework-- re-forming the past--and argues that their distinctly African American form ofpostmodern slave narrative forces the reader to question the ideologies set forth by earlier, realistic depictions of slavery.
