Através duma leitura pormenorizada de Manchild in the Promised Land de
Claude Brown, Sag Harbor de Colson Whitehead e Brown Girl, Brownstones de Paule
Marshall como exemplos de Bildungsroman, esta dissertação visa enfatizar a fluidez
deste género comparando o Bildungsroman tradicional com o Bildungsroman étnico e
demonstrar como esses romances desafiam o género do Bildungsroman tradicional
reformulando as suas características. Ao analisar os percursos de personagem Afro
Americanos, este trabalho propõe uma leitura diversificada dos aspetos sociais e
culturais do Bildungsroman. Esta leitura considerará a construção da identidade de
jovens Afro Americanos nos romances selecionados, nomeadamente Sonny, Benji e
Selina, interrogando os vários factores culturais que pautuam os seus processos de
maturação.
