Crossing the Line: Racial Passing in Twentieth-Century U.S. Literature and Culture
ISBN: 9780822324799 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As W. E. B. DuBois famously prophesied in The Souls of Black Folk, the fiction of the color line has been of urgent concern in defining a certain twentieth-century U.S. racial order. Yet the very arbitrariness of this line also gives rise to opportunities for racial passing, a practice through which subjects appropriate the terms of racial discourse. To erode race s authority, Gayle Wald argues, we must understand how race defines and yet fails to represent identity. She thus uses cultural narratives of passing to illuminate both the contradictions of race and the deployment of such...

Raising the Dead : Readings of Death and (Black) Subjectivity
ISBN: 9780822324997 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Raising the Dead is a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary exploration of death's relation to subjectivity in twentieth-century American literature and culture. Sharon Patricia Holland contends that black subjectivity in particular is connected intimately to death. For Holland, travelling through "the space of death" gives us, as cultural readers, a nuanced and appropriate metaphor for understanding what is at stake when bodies, discourses, and communities collide.
Holland argues that the presence of blacks, Native Americans, women, queers, and other "minorities" in society is, like... Raising the Dead is a groundbreaking, interdisciplinary exploration of death's relation to subjectivity in twentieth-century American literatur...

The Death-Bound-Subject: Richard Wright's Archaeology of Death
ISBN: 9780822334880 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) During the 1940s, in response to the charge that his writing was filled with violence, Richard Wright replied that the manner came from the matter, that the "relationship of the American Negro to the American scene was] essentially violent," and that he could deny neither the violence he had witnessed nor his own existence as a product of racial violence. Abdul R. JanMohamed provides extraordinary insight into Wright's position in this first study to explain the fundamental ideological and political functions of the threat of lynching in Wright's work and thought. JanMohamed argues that...

Dangerous Freedom: Fusion and Fragmentation in Toni Morrisona S Novels
ISBN: 9780878058617 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The novels of Toni Morrison depict a disjointed culture striving to coalesce in a racialized society. No other contemporary writer conveys this "double consciousness" of African-American life so faithfully. As her characters struggle to negotiate meaningful roles and identities, and as they confront the inescapable issue of division, her novels are permeated with motifs of fragmentation. This divided entity is a theme repeated throughout Morrison's fiction. Operating on many levels, this plurality-in-unity affects narrators, chronologies, individuals, couples, families, neighborhoods,...

African American Servitude and Historical Imaginings: Retrospective Fiction and Representation

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In African-American Servitude and Historical Imaginings Margaret Jordan initiates a new way of looking at the African American presence in American literature. Twentieth-century retrospective fiction is the site for this compelling investigation about how African American servants and slaves have enormous utility as cultural artifacts, objects to be acted upon, agents in place, or agents provocateurs. Jordan argues that those who even those seemingly innocuous, infrequently visible, or silent servants are vehicles through which history, culture and social values and practices are cultivated...
