Abstract

This essay traces the development of spatial patterns from the traditional Bildungsroman and the male and female variety of the ‘black British Bildungsroman’ to the novels about the ‘black male underclass’. Particular emphasis is given to the ideological re-evaluation of both the journey motif and the city as a space of growth.
