This paper attempts to concentrate on reclamation of African-American heritage in Ishmael Reed's Flight to Canada (1976) in the light of postmodern approaches. Reed represents a full spectrum of approaches to postmodern historical writing today, from the traditionally "realistic" to the radically anachronistic. Although Reed shares in the belief that history is textual and, therefore, available to him as material for his novel, he has very particular concerns for his brand of postmodern historical fiction, and the novel itself exemplifies diverse attitudes towards history.
