The work of black writers, editors, publishers, and librarians is
deeply embedded in the history of American print culture, from
slave narratives to digital databases. While the printed word can
seem democratizing, it remains that the infrastructures of print
and digital culture can be as limiting as they are enabling.
Contributors to this volume explore the relationship between
expression and such frameworks, analyzing how different mediums,
library catalogs, and search engines shape the production and
reception of written and visual culture. Topics include antebellum
literature, the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement;
"post-Black" art, the role of black librarians, and how present-day
technologies aid or hinder the discoverability of work by African
Americans. Against a Sharp White Background covers elements of
production, circulation, and reception of African American writing
across a range of genres and contexts. This collection challenges
mainstream book history and print culture to understand that race
and racialization are inseparable from the study of texts and their
technologies.
