Abstract: This article examines changes in the cultural model of the black race in literature during the 19th and 20th centuries. It explores the evolution of images of black identity, resilience, and agency in response to the historical context of slavery, segregation, the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights movement. By analyzing the works of key black writers such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, James Baldwin, and Ta-Nehisi Coates and Octavia Butler, this study examines the changing representations of blackness in literature. The article emphasizes the role of literature in challenging stereotypes, reclaiming narratives, and reshaping the discourse surrounding black identity, highlighting the ongoing evolution and diversification of the cultural model of the black race in literature.
