The book critically surveys how Turner inspired the cultural imagination and became a largely misunderstood and polarizing figure in the US imaginary. By locating the Turner Insurrection within the territory of historical race trauma, writers across the color-line have exposed the lasting impact of slavery on American society. As African Americans continue to endure the indignities and inequity of an insidiously racist system, servile insurrections emerge as models of heroic rebellion. Historical literature is mnemonic in nature and cautionary in purpose. Since rebellion is predetermined within unjust systems, as recently as May 2020, the police killing of yet another unarmed Black man caused nation-wide protests. The US is undergoing a paradigm shift that dispels the political fiction of racial equality and the optimistic rhetoric of a colorblind and racially reconciled America, as it exposes the devastating effects of race trauma." $c --From publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Turner, Nat, $d 1800?-1831. 600 17 $a Turner, Nat, $d 1800?-1831. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00005051 650 0 $a American literature $z Southern States $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Slave insurrections $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Slave insurrections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120389 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025558.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FDFCFC545F0711ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
