Description

The Myth of Aunt Jemima provides a bold look at how white women writers in Britain and America have addressed the subject of race over three centuries. In this work, Diane Roberts challenges the idea that white women writers simply accepted majority cultural ideas about race. Instead, she explores how these writers engaged with complex racial themes throughout history. This book examines the mythic spheres of race and the separation of black and white into categories like low and high, other and originary, or tainted and pure. It offers a deep look at how these representations continue to affect a society that is still working to free itself from debilitating racial imagery. For readers interested in social and cultural history, this text provides a significant perspective on the evolution of racial representation in literature.
