Association Honorable Mention, MSA First Book Prize In Thinking
Through Crisis, James Edward Ford III examines the works of Richard
Wright, Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, and
Langston Hughes during the 1930s in order to articulate a
materialist theory of trauma. Ford highlights the dark
proletariat's emergence from the multitude apposite to white
supremacist agendas. In these works, Ford argues, proletarian,
modernist, and surrealist aesthetics transform fugitive slaves,
sharecroppers, leased convicts, levee workers, and activist
intellectuals into protagonists of anti-racist and anti-capitalist
movements in the United States. Thinking Through Crisis intervenes
in debates on the 1930s, radical subjectivity, and states of
emergency. It will be of interest to scholars of American
literature, African American literature, proletarian literature,
black studies, trauma theory, and political theory.
