How are literary genres racialized? How are definitions of history
and historicity predicated on notions of racial difference? How
have the arts been constructed on racialized aesthetic foundations,
and how have they benefited from institutions of slavery and
colonialism? This anthology demonstrates the longstanding,
multifarious, and major role that race has played in the formation
of knowledge. The authors demonstrate how race theory intersects
with other bodies of knowledge by examining discursive records such
as travelogues, literature, and historiography; theoretical
structures such as common sense, pseudoscientific racism, and
Eurocentrism; social structures of class, advancement, and
identity; and politico-economic structures of capitalism,
colonialism, and law. Editors Joseph Young and Jana Evans Braziel
aim to demonstrate the richness that emerges when race is taken
into consideration and the misrepresentation of thought that
results when it is not.
