Description

This scholarly work from Routledge examines how African-American writers and visual artists use icon and inscription to re-present the black female body. For too long, Western visual and discursive systems have rendered the black female body as alien or inarticulate. This book addresses that history by exploring the connection between literature and contemporary art. Readers will see how the writings of authors like Toni Morrison, Gayl Jones, and Edwidge Danticat connect to the work of postmodern visual artists such as Lorna Simpson, Kara Walker, and Faith Ringgold. By looking at these different mediums together, the text provides a deep look into how identity is performed and reclaimed through both words and images. It is a vital resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of African-American studies, art history, and literary criticism.

Key Features

Explores the connection between African-American literature and contemporary postmodern visual art.

Analyzes the works of major writers including Toni Morrison, Paule Marshall, and Jamaica Kincaid.

Examines visual contributions from artists like Carrie Mae Weems, Betye Saar, and Kara Walker.

Investigates how the black female body is re-presented against traditional Western discursive systems.

Part of the Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature series for academic study.
