This new critique of contemporary African-American fiction explores
its intersections with and critiques of the Gothic genre. Wester
reveals the myriad ways writers manipulate the genre to critique
the gothic's traditional racial ideologies and the mechanisms that
were appropriated and re-articulated as a useful vehicle for the
enunciation of the peculiar terrors and complexities of black
existence in America. Re-reading major African American literary
texts such as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Of One
Blood, Cane, Invisible Man, and Corregidora African American Gothic
investigates texts from each major era in African American Culture
to show how the gothic has consistently circulated throughout the
African American literary canon.
