Description

The Myth of Aunt Jemima by Routledge is a bold examination of how white women writers across three centuries have engaged with race in Britain and America. Diane Roberts challenges the assumption that white female authors simply accepted prevailing cultural narratives about race, instead revealing how these writers grappled with and often resisted racial mythologies. The work explores how mythic spheres separating black and white into categories of low and high, other and originary, tainted and pure continue to haunt contemporary society struggling to escape debilitating racial representations. This beautifully written analysis offers powerful insights into the complex relationship between gender, race, and literary representation, making it essential reading for students of cultural history, literary studies, and American and British social thought.

Key Features

The Myth of Aunt Jemima examines three centuries of white women writers and their treatment of race across Britain and American literature.

Diane Roberts challenges conventional assumptions about how white female authors approached racial representation in their work.

The book analyses mythic racial categories and their lasting impact on society's struggle against entrenched racial stereotypes.

Published by Routledge, this work combines rigorous literary analysis with accessible, beautifully written prose.
