The Myth of Aunt Jemima is a bold and exciting look at the way
three centuries of white women writers have tackled the subject of
race in both Britain and America. Diane Roberts challenges the
widely-held belief that white women writers have simply acquiesed
in majority cultural inscriptions of race. The Myth of Aunt Jemima
shows how 'the mythic spheres of race, of the separation of black
and white into low and high, other and originary, tainted and pure,
remain to trouble a society struggling still to free itself from
debilitating racial representations.'
Beautifully written with a powerful series of textual readings,
The Myth of Aunt Jemima pushes at the boundaries of thought around
the issues of race and gender. An important and innovative book.
