America's new millennial interest in multiraciality coincides with
South Africa's postapartheid push towards greater visibility as the
Rainbow Nation. Here, Diana Adesola Mafe argues that the recent
celebration of the mulatto as an avatar of positive change for
multiracial nations like South Africa and the United States
overlooks the complex global trajectories that resulted in this
watershed moment. Mixed Race Stereotypes in South African and
American Literature examines the popular literary stereotype, the
tragic mulatto, from a comparative perspective. Mafe considers the
ways in which specific South African and American writers have used
this controversial literary character to challenge the logic of
racial categorization. The result is a transnational dialogue
between these respective national literatures, both of which use
tragic mulatto fiction as a locus for broader questions about race
and belonging.
