Description

Explore the complex layers of history and memory in The Specter and the Speculative: Afterlives and Archives in the African Diaspora. This collection of essays examines how historical subjects and texts within the African Diaspora are re-fashioned and re-animated to create new meanings for African Atlantic identities. By looking at transnational and transhistorical sites of memory, this work investigates how narratives are parodied, nostalgized, and defamiliarized. It focuses on textual, visual, and embodied performances to understand how living archives circulate. This book provides a deep look into how these archives imagine new possibilities for identity and history through various modes of haunting and re-articulation. It is an essential resource for those studying the ways historical narratives continue to exist and transform within the African Diaspora.
