Since the height of the post-civil rights and decolonialization movements of the late-twentieth century, black women writers of the diaspora have actively engaged in a politically rooted experimentalism that has reached broad audiences and produced iconic texts in both popular and academic intellectual spheres across the globe. This project explores the social and political resonances of African Diaspora women artists' experimental and formally subversive works. Mecca Jamilah Sullivan draws links between important genre-bending texts of the late-twentieth century (such as Audre Lorde's 1982 "biomythography," Zami, Ntozake Shange's 1975 "choreopoem," for colored girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is enuf, and Ghanaian writer Ama Ata Aidoo's 1977 prosepoem novella, Our Sister Killjoy) and more recent examples of black feminist experimentalism in the diaspora, such as those by queer Trinidadian poet and novelist Dionne Brand, South African lesbian photographer Zanele Muholi, African-American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, and Afro-Cuban lesbian hip-hop duo Las Krudas Cubensi. Reading these artists' works through a black queer feminist frame attentive to queerness as a matter of both formal heterogeneity and identity difference shows that these artists use subversive poetics to contest dominant models of sexuality, gender, and political subjectivity in the African Diaspora"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Black queer feminist poetics : rereading the intersection -- Biomythic times : voice, genre, and the invention of Black/queer history -- "Walkin on the edges of the galaxy" : queer choreopoetic thought in the African diaspora -- Feeling colors and seeing speech : body/language and Black women's diasporas of difference -- "Languages of love," "TALK" of Sex : interstitial idioms of body and desire -- Speech between silence : distance, difference, and the queer poetics of Blackwoman living. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a African literature (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African literature (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Experimental $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 650 0 $a African diaspora in literature. 650 0 $a Women, Black, in literature. 650 0 $a Feminism and literature. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 7 $a African diaspora in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902319 650 7 $a African literature (English) $x Black authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799850 650 7 $a African literature (English) $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424465 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 650 7 $a American literature $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807271 650 7 $a Feminism and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922735 650 7 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966891 650 7 $a Literature, Experimental. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000149 650 7 $a Queer theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739572 650 7 $a Women, Black, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178939 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sullivan, Mecca Jamilah. $t Poetics of difference $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2021 $z 9780252052897 $w (DLC) 2021006473 830 0 $a New Black studies series. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012452.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230218011042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8276C96EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
