Description

This scholarly work offers a groundbreaking exploration of race and slavery within early American literature, reframing these themes through a transnational and oceanic perspective. By applying postcolonial theory to American texts written between the nation's emergence and the Civil War, the author uncovers hidden colonial and imperial dimensions embedded in America's foundational writing. The book challenges conventional literary analysis by situating canonical American texts within a broader Black Atlantic framework, revealing how foundational literature engaged with slavery, colonialism, and racial ideology in ways previously overlooked by traditional scholarship. Published by Routledge as part of their Transnational Perspectives on American Literature series, this volume advances understanding of how early American authors grappled with questions of race, power, and imperial ambition during the nation's formative period.

Key Features

Applies postcolonial theory to American literary texts spanning from the nation's emergence through the Civil War era.

Examines metaphors of colonial and imperial unconsciousness embedded throughout America's foundational writing and canonical authors.

Situates race and slavery within a transnational Black Atlantic framework rather than a purely national perspective.

Part of the Routledge Transnational Perspectives on American Literature series, offering scholarly rigour and peer-reviewed analysis.

Extends existing research on foundational American literature by connecting domestic racial themes to broader oceanic and global colonial histories.
