The period of 1850-1865 consisted of violent struggle and crisis as
the United States underwent the prodigious transition from
slaveholding to ostensibly 'free' nation. This volume reframes
mid-century African American literature and challenges our current
understandings of both African American and American literature. It
presents a fluid tradition that includes history, science,
politics, economics, space and movement, the visual, and the sonic.
Black writing was highly conscious of transnational and
international politics, textual circulation, and revolutionary
imaginaries. Chapters explore how Black literature was being
produced and circulated; how and why it marked its relation to
other literary and expressive traditions; what geopolitical
imaginaries it facilitated through representation; and what
technologies, including print, enabled African Americans to pursue
such a complex and ongoing aesthetic and political project.
