Abolitionist Cosmopolitanism: Reconfiguring Gender, Race, and Nation in American Antislavery Literature: European Perspectives on the United States, cartea 4

Autor Pia Wiegmink
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2022
Abolitionist Cosmopolitanism redefines the potential of American antislavery literature as a cultural and political imaginary by situating antislavery literature in specific transnational contexts and highlighting the role of women as producers, subjects, and audiences of antislavery literature. Pia Wiegmink draws attention to locales, authors, and webs of entanglement between texts, ideas, and people. Perceived through the lens of gender and transnationalism, American antislavery literature emerges as a body of writing that presents profoundly reconfigured literary imaginations of freedom and equality in the United States prior to the Civil War.
