Ulysses in Black demonstrates that, similar to their white counterparts, African American authors - including Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, and Countee Cullen - have been students of classical languages, literature, and mythologies by such writers as Homer, Euripides, and Seneca. Ultimately, this unique study of black classicism becomes an exploration of America's broader cultural integrity, one that is inclusive and historic.
Patrice D. Rankine is associate professor of classics and assistant head of foreign languages and literatures at Purdue University and has served as director of Purdue's Interdisciplinary Program in Classics.
