Twenty-First Century Pan-African American Literature takes up writings by African born or identified authors like Teju Cole, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dinaw Mengestu, and NoViolet Bulawayo. Stephanie Li asserts that these texts reinvent the meaning of blackness by placing immigration and diasporic identity at the center of their narratives, and reassessing the relationship between slavery and contemporary social conditions. The texts studied demonstrate the ways in which race is an evolving and contested site of identity that is made new by the experiences of recent African immigrants; they also show how blackness becomes a bridge between people of radically different experiences. Though race often alienates and frustrates immigrants who are accustomed to living in all-black environments, Li holds that it can also be a powerful form of community and political mobilization"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-182) and index. 505 0 $a Signifyin(g) on the slave narrative: African memoirs of war and displacement -- Uncanny rememories in Teju Cole's open city -- The impossibility of invisibility in the novels of Dinaw Mengestu -- Refiguring the ancestor in the fiction of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie -- Becoming his own father: Obama's dreams from my father -- Conclusion: blackness now. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African diaspora in literature. 650 0 $a Blacks $x Race identity $z America. 650 0 $a African Americans in literature. 650 0 $a Blacks in literature $y 21st century. 650 7 $a African Americans in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799727 650 7 $a African diaspora in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902319 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 650 7 $a Blacks in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834025 650 7 $a Blacks $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833987 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 650 7 $a Literatur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 650 7 $a Schwarze $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4116434-9 650 7 $a Ethnische IdentitaÌt $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4543530-3 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021651.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=961FF146462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
