Why has autobiography been central to African American political
speech throughout the twentieth century? What is it about the
racialization process that persistently places African Americans in
the position of speaking from personal experience? In Autobiography
and Black Identity Politics: Racialization in Twentieth-Century
America, Kenneth Mostern illustrates the relationship between
narrative and racial categories such as 'colored', 'Negro', 'black'
or 'African American' in the work of writers such as W. E. B. Du
Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Malcom X, Martin Luther King, Paul
Robeson, Angela Davis and bell hooks. Mostern shows how these
autobiographical narratives attempt to construct and transform the
political meanings of blackness. The relationship between a black
masculine identity that emerged during the 1960s, and the
counter-movement of black feminism since the 1970s, is also
discussed. This wide-ranging study will interest all those working
in African American studies, cultural studies and literary theory.
