Underlying slave narrative is an expression of the problem of physical embodiment; that is, the dualistic thinking of the mind-body division. Fishburn's work uncovers the tension between needing to acknowledge the fact of human embodiment and wishing to overcome its consequences in a racist society. One of the strongest points made by this pioneering work is the controversial claim that these slave narratives offer one of the most telling, if largely overlooked, pre-Heideggerian critiques of liberal humanism ever attempted in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943999176992,"sku":"NEW0274958783","price":112.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-problem-of-embodiment-in-early-african-american-narrative-contributions-in-afro-american-and-african-studies-0274958783","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
