As a result, black lives have been predominately narrated through historical scenes of slavery and oppression. This phenomenon created a missing archive of romantic historical memories. Badia Ahad-Legardy mines literature, visual culture, performance, and culinary arts to form an archive of black historical joy for use by the African-descended. Her analysis reveals how contemporary black artists find more than trauma and subjugation within the historical past. Drawing on contemporary African American culture and recent psychological studies, she reveals nostalgia's capacity to produce positive emotions. Afro-nostalgia emerges as an expression of black romantic recollection that creates and inspires good feelings even within our darkest moments. Original and provocative, Afro-Nostalgia offers black historical pleasure as a remedy to contend with the disillusionment of the present and the traumas of the past." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Nostalgia in literature. 650 0 $a Happiness in literature. 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 650 7 $a Happiness in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00951183 650 7 $a Nostalgia in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039540 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780252052552 830 0 $a New Black studies series. 941 $a 2 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010540.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728010828.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=35557F82EF6911EBB8061DD04AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
