In Going Underground, Lara Langer Cohen excavates the long history of this now-familiar idea while seeking out versions of the underground that got left behind along the way. Outlining how the underground's figurative sense first took shape through the associations of literal subterranean spaces with racialized Blackness, she examines a vibrant world of nineteenth-century US subterranean literature that includes Black radical manifestos, anarchist periodicals, sensationalist exposeÌs of the urban underworld, manuals for sex magic, and the initiation rites of secret societies. Cohen finds that the undergrounds in this literature offer sites of political possibility that exceed the familiar framework of resistance, suggesting that nineteenth-century undergrounds can inspire new modes of world-making and world-breaking for a time when this world feels increasingly untenable"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-266) and index. 505 0 $a A Basement Shut Off and Forgotten during the Nineteenth Century -- The "Blackness of Darkness" in Mammoth Cave -- Early Black Radical Undergrounds -- The Underground Railroad's Undergrounds -- The Depths of Astonishment: City Mysteries and Subterranean Unknowability -- "To drop beneath the floors of the outer world": Paschal Beverly Randolph's Occult Undergrounds -- Subterranean Fire: Anarchist Visions of the Underground -- Staying Underground. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Politics and literature $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799627 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Politics and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069960 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 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 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cohen, Lara Langer. $t Going underground. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2023 $z 1478024127 $w (OCoLC)1350381225 $w (OCoLC)1350381225 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19590D8A253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
