NOTE: In this Phd's abstract, as presented on "First Search," Ms. Meachem observes among many insights: "Delany's treatment alone, in part because of its autobiographical element, defies racial convention. His involvement with issues throughout the New World Black diaspora and his oneness with the sensibilities of his community contributed to a more faithful vision of the nineteenth century Black experience."
