Using an interdisciplinary approach, this innovative book employs major contemporary texts by both African American and Caribbean writers--Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, Dawn Turner, Olive Senior, Oonya Kempadoo, Merle Hodge, and Diana McCaulay--to demonstrate how neoliberalism, within the broader framework of racial capitalism, reframes structural inequalities as personal failures, thus obscuring how to improve unjust conditions. Through interviews with authors, textual analyses of the fiction, and a diagramming of cross-class relationships, Brooks offers compelling new insight on literary portrayals of class inequalities and division. She reconceptualizes the scope of the Black women's literary tradition since the 1970s by repositioning the importance of class, and she explores why the imagination matters as we think about novel ways to address long-standing and simultaneously evolving inequities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Black people in literature. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Caribbean fiction (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Caribbean fiction (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Income distribution $x In literature. 650 0 $a Social classes in literature. 650 7 $a American fiction $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807049 650 7 $a American fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807099 650 7 $a Blacks in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00834025 650 7 $a Social classes in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122375 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022838.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5C2577B4DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
