Overview
(2010); as well as other writing that remained unpublished or uncollected at the time of Ellison's death in 1994. [...]as the contents of this special issue suggest, Ellison studies is also American studies. According to J.J. Butts, Ellison drew upon his FWP research on Harlem's history and vernacular culture to challenge the ideas of modern citizenship embedded in the New Deal's planning discourse. [...]in Jack Whitten's Black Monolith II (For Ralph Ellison) (1994), the irreducible multiplicity of African American identity appears in a form that could certainly be called Ellisonian: a mosaic whose tiles are syncretized from molasses, copper, salt, coal, ash, chocolate, onion, herbs, rust, eggshell, razor blade, and acrylic paint.
