Experimental Subjectivities in Global Black Women's Writing: Race and Narrative Innovation de Professor Sheldon George

Experimental Subjectivities in Global Black Women's Writing: Race and Narrative Innovation: Bloomsbury Studies in Global Women’s Writing

Editat de Professor Sheldon George, Professor Jean Wyatt
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2024
In what innovative ways do novels by diasporic Black women writers experiment with the representation of Black subjectivity? This collection explores the inventiveness of contemporary Black women writers - Black British, African, Caribbean, African American - who remake traditional understandings of blackness. As the title word "experimental" signals, these essays foreground the narrative form and stylistic innovations of the black-authored novels they analyze. They also show how these experiments with form mirror the novels' convention-breaking experiments with reimagining Black female subjectivities. While each novel, of course, represents the complexities of diasporic experiences differently, some issues emerge that are broadly shared not just within a regional group, but across geographical borders. One feature of the collection is a comparative look at such linking themes across borders, under the rubrics: a return to precolonial systems of belief, reinventions of mothering, relational subjectivities, memory, history and haunting, and posthumanist revaluations. These themes take different shapes across the multitude of diverse cultures studied in this book. But together they establish a pan-global imaginative practice.

Caracteristici

A companion to the editor's previous collection published with Routledge, Reading Contemporary Black British and African American Women Writers: Race, Ethics, Narrative Form (2020), this book crucially re-focuses the study of Black women's writing away from its sociological significance and gives much due attention to their innovation in style and form
