Traces the traditions of Black American literature and examines the novels of Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison and Alice Walker.
When first published by the American Baptist Publication Society in 1894, The Hazeley Family was advertised as 'a book that should be in every Sunday-school library'. The novel is typical of the 'angel of the home' romances written by American women in the later nineteenth century. It tells how the moral fibre of Flora Hazeley keeps her family together - a constant concern in Afro-American literature and life. The characters are 'non-racial', one of the tactics that many black writers used to overcome the racial sterotypes demanded by the white establishment.
This landmark collaboration between African American and white
feminists goes to the heart of problems that have troubled feminist
thinking for decades. Putting the racial dynamics of feminist
interpretation center stage, these essays question such issues as
the primacy of sexual difference, the universal nature of
psychoanalytic categories, and the role of race in the formation of
identity. They offer new ways of approaching African American texts
and reframe our thinking about the contexts, discourses, and
traditions of the American cultural landscape. Calling for the
racialization of whiteness and claiming that psychoanalytic theory
should make room for competing discourses of spirituality and
diasporic consciousness, these essays give shape to the many
stubborn incompatibilities--as well as the transformative
possibilities--between white feminist and African American cultural
formations.
