Contemporary African American and Black British Women Writers:
Narrative, Race, Ethics brings together British and American
scholars to explore how, in texts by contemporary black women
writers in the U. S. and Britain, formal narrative techniques
express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking
about race in a reader. Taken together, the essays also demonstrate
that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow
formal structures and literary techniques from one another to
describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of
black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race.
Narratology has only recently begun to use race as a category of
narrative theory. This collection seeks both to show the ethical
effects of narrative form on individual readers and to foster
reconceptualizations of narrative theory that account for the
workings of race within literature and culture.
