          <dc:description>A Novel Way to Learn examines the development of black fiction in tandem with black
educational advancement from Reconstruction to the Harlem Renaissance. By reading education
in the novels of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Sutton Griggs, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Jessie
Redmon Fauset, I reveal an underexplored genealogy of black educational thought from initial
calls for educational access to more independent, ideological, and pragmatic modes embodied in
the texts of black fiction writers. Ultimately, I argue that black educational fiction constitutes a
key strand of African American writing before the Harlem Renaissance.</dc:description>
