Using the "the Negro Problem" in African American literature as a
point of departure, this book focuses on the profound impact that
racism had on the literary imagination of black Americans,
specifically those in the South. Although the South has been one of
the most enduring sites of criticism in American Studies and in
American literary history, Johnson argues that it is impossible to
consider what the "South" and what "southernness" mean as cultural
references without looking at how black women have contributed to
and contested any unified definition of that region. Johnson
challenges the homogeneity of a "white" South and southern cultural
identity by recognizing how fictional and historical black women
are underacknowledged agents of cultural change. Johnson regards
the South as a cultural region that (re)constructs black womanhood,
but she also considers how black womanhood have transformed the
South. Specialists in nineteenth and twentieth century American
literature will find this book a necessary addition, as will
scholars of African American Literature and History.
