The 'transnational' turn has transformed modernist studies,
challenging Western authority over modernism and positioning race
and racial theories at the very centre of how we now understand
modern literature. Modernism and Race examines relationships
between racial typologies and literature in the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries, drawing on fin de siecle versions of
anthropology, sociology, political science, linguistics and
biology. Collectively, these essays interrogate the anxieties and
desires that are expressed in, or projected onto, racialized
figures. They include new outlines of how the critical field has
developed, revaluations of canonical modernist figures like James
Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Ford Madox Ford and Wyndham Lewis, and accounts
of writers often positioned at the margins of modernism, such as
Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay and the Holocaust writers Solomon
Perel and Gisella Perl. This timely collection by leading scholars
of modernism will make an important contribution to a growing
field."
