This volume is a collection of essays on black short stories written between 1998 and 1976. It aims to say something about the black short story as a genre and the development of the racial situation in America as well. The primary aim is to introduce the reader to this long neglected genre of black fiction. In contrast to the black novel, the short story has hardly been given extensive criticism, let alone serious attention. The individual essays of this collection aim at presenting new points of critical orientation in the hope of reviving and fostering further discussions. They provide a variety of approaches, and a great diversity of critical points of view.

African American short fiction can only be appreciated if read by first taking into account their multifarious responses to their contemporary political, economic, social and cultural circumstances. The stories presented in Writing from the Black Soul illustrate how in provocative ways African American writers from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards explored a number of themes that were relevant not only to the development of new and original literary traditions but also to the advancement of racial relationships in the post-slavery, segregated United States of their time.
