Gender, Genre, and Race in Post-Neo-Slave Narratives (Hardcover)

Gender, Genre, and Race in Post-Neo-Slave Narratives provides a new, innovative conceptual framework for describing representations of slavery in twenty-first century American cultural productions. Covering a broad range of narrative forms from short stories and novels like The Known World to films like 12 Years a Slave and the music of Missy Elliott, Dana Renee Horton engages with post-neo-slave narratives, a genre she defines as literary and visual texts that mesh conventions of postmodernity with the neo-slave narrative. Focusing on the characterization of black women in these texts, Horton argues that they are portrayed as commodities who commodify slaves, a fluid and complex characterization that is a foundational characteristic of postmodern identity and emphasizes how postmodern identity restructures the conception of slave-owners.
