title: Free Within Ourselves: Fiction Lessons for Black Authors
author:  Jewell Parker Rhodes 
description: Sure, Jewell Parker Rhodes is African American. Many of the writing traditions to which she refers in <i>Free Within Ourselves</i>--the slave narrative, trickster legends--are specific to African American culture. The resonant works of short fiction, reprinted here in their entirety, that she uses to illustrate fictional elements were written by such African Americans as Zora Neale Hurston, Charles Johnson, Toni Cade Bambara, and John Edgar Wideman. The 67 authors whose pearls of writing wisdom bring this book to its fine conclusion are all African American. Rhodes even bills her book as "fiction lessons for black authors." So why should the rest of us bother?
