Harris-Lopez is a native of Tuscaloosa, where she earned
a bachelor's degree
from Stillman College.
A 21-year veteran of the Carolina faculty, she is an expert
in African-American literature and folklore. Her books include "The
Power of the Porch: The Storyteller's Craft in Zora Neale Hurston, Gloria
Naylor and Randall Kenan" (1996, University of Georgia Press); "Fiction
and Folklore: The Novels of Toni Morrison" (1991, University of Tennessee
Press); "Black Women in the Fiction of James Baldwin" (1985,
University of Tennessee Press); and "Saints, Sinners, Saviors: Strong
Black Women in African American Literature" (2001, Palgrave).
