Exploring literary possibilities, Politics and Affect reads black
women’s text—in particular Frances Harper’s “The Two
Offers” (1859), Julia Collins’s The Curse of Caste (1865),
Nella Larsen’s Quicksand (1928), and Danzy Senna’s Caucasia
(1998)—as richly creative documents saturated with sociopolitical
value. Interested in how African American women writers from the
nineteenth century to the present have mined the politics of affect
and emotion to document love, shame, and suffering in environments
shaped by race, Kathy Glass gives sustained attention to the impact
of racist affect on the black body, and examines how black women
writers deploy emotional states to engender sociopolitical change.
