Description

Product Description Exploring post-apocalypticism in the Black literary and cultural tradition, Post-Apocalypticism and the Black Female Imagination extends the scholarly conversation on Afro-futurist canon formation through an examination of futuristic imaginaries in representative 20th and 21st-century works of literature and expressive culture by Black women in an Afro-diasporic setting. The book demonstrates the implications of Afro-futurist literary criticism for Black Atlantic literary and critical theory, investigating issues of hybridity, border crossing, temporality, and historical recuperation. Covering a wide range of writers including Octavia Butler, Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson, Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward and Beyoncé - Maxine Lavon Montgomery shows how Black women artists attempt to recover a raced, gendered heritage in framing an evolving social order existing as a part of, yet separate and distinct from, the past. About the Author Maxine Lavon Montgomery is Professor of English at Florida State University, USA. Her recent publications include The Fictions of Gloria Naylor (2011) and, as editor, Conversations with Edwidge Danticat (2017).
