| 520 | |a "In Afrodiasporic Forms, Raquel Kennon provides an interdisciplinary, transnational literary and cultural study of modern racialized slavery. Blending close readings with cultural criticism that focuses on products of slavery's afterlife-poetry, prose, plays, painting, telenovelas, sculpture, photography, and more-this innovative work opens up cross-cultural conversations about how imaginative uses of the past inform understandings of the African diaspora. Chapters analyze divergent texts and artistic forms engaging slavery's memory spanning from the 1830s to the twenty-first century and ranging across genres and geographies to trace contradictions, ambiguities, and contestations within diasporic narratologies of slavery. With its comparative readings of global genres, subgenres, and cultural modes, Afrodiasporic Forms unsettles dominant, US-centered, Anglophone narratives and refuses a definitive or singularly authoritative narrative of slavery. Kennon's analysis traverses geographies and spatiotemporalities to focus on how transnational sites of slavery are reimagined in and through texts over time, as processes of remembering and forgetting reconfigure these images and spaces. As a work of comparative slavery studies, Afrodiasporic Forms: Slavery in Literature and Culture of the African Diaspora brings into crisis the very expectation of coherence and linearity in a global economic stratagem marked by concealment, discontinuity, and rupture"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
