Haunting and Displacement in African American Literature and Culture (Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory)

ISBN: 0415990947

Author: Parham, Marisa

Condition: New

Looking at texts including Jean Toomers Cane, Toni Morrisons Beloved, James Baldwins Another Country, and Beat poetry by Bob Kaufmann, in this original study, Parham describes the phenomena of haunting, displacement, and ghostliness as endemic to modern African American literature and culture. Not only does memory-conscious and unconscious, individual and collective-often drive African American cultural production, but such memory often arrives to artists from elsewhere, from other times, spaces, and experiences.
