Description

Explore the profound themes of memory and presence in Marisa Parham's original study, Haunting and Displacement in African American Literature and Culture. This scholarly work examines how ghostliness and displacement function as central elements within modern African American cultural production. By analyzing foundational texts such as Jean Toomer's Cane, Toni Morrison's Beloved, and James Baldwin's Another Country, the book investigates how memory shapes artistic expression. Parham looks at both conscious and unconscious memory, as well as individual and collective experiences, to show how artists draw from different times, spaces, and histories. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary theory and cultural studies. It provides a deep look into how the phenomena of haunting are embedded in the literary landscape, offering new perspectives on how memory arrives to artists from various origins and experiences.
