These artists deliberately confront and negotiate the psychic and representational legacies of slavery to imagine possibilities and change. The essays in this volume explore the conceptions of freedom and blackness that undergird these narratives, critically examining how artists growing up in the post-Civil Rights era have nuanced slavery in a way that is distinctly different from the first wave of neo-slave narratives that emerged from the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. Slavery and the Post-Black Imagination positions post-blackness as a productive category of analysis that brings into sharp focus recent developments in black cultural productions across various media. These ten essays investigate how millennial black cultural productions trouble long-held notions of blackness by challenging limiting scripts. They interrogate political as well as formal interventions into established discourses to demonstrate how explorations of black identities frequently go hand in hand with the purposeful refiguring of slavery's prevailing tropes, narratives, and images." -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Slavery in literature. 650 0 $a Slavery in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Race in literature. 650 0 $a Race in motion pictures. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions. 776 08 $c Original $z 9780295746647 $z 9780295746647 $w (OCoLC)1103983535 700 1 $a Ashe, Bertram D., $d 1959- $e editor. 700 1 $a Saal, Ilka, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602021135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6863417C74A711EA8EBE956E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
