Description

Product Description Black Celebrity examines representations of postbellum black athletes and artist-entertainers by novelists Caryl Phillips and Jeffery Renard Allen and poets Kevin Young, Frank X Walker, Adrian Matejka, and Tyehimba Jess. Inhabiting the perspectives of boxer Jack Johnson and musicians “Blind Tom” Wiggins and Sissieretta Jones, along with several others, these writers retrain readers’ attention away from athletes’ and entertainers’ overdetermined bodies and toward their complex inner lives. Phillips, Allen, Young, Walker, Matejka, and Jess especially plumb the emotional archive of desire, anxiety, pain, and defiance engendered by the racial hypervisibility and depersonalization that has long characterized black stardom. In the process, these novelists and poets and, in turn, the present book revise understandings of black celebrity history while evincing the through lines between the postbellum era and our own time. About the Author EMILY RUTH RUTTER is an assistant professor of English and a Ball Brothers Honors College Faculty Fellow at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. She is the author of Invisible Ball of Dreams: Literary Representations of Baseball behind the Color Line and The Blues Muse: Race, Gender, and Musical Celebrity in American Poetry. With Tiffany Austin, Sequoia Maner and darlene anita scott, she co-edited Revisiting the Elegy in the Black Lives Matter Era. Her numerous essays have been published in African American Review, MELUS, A Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century American Women’s Poetry, and Some Other Blues: New Perspectives on Amiri Baraka, among other journals and essay collections.
