Gender, Genre, and Race in Post-Neo-Slave Narratives provides a
new, innovative conceptual framework for describing representations
of slavery in twenty-first century American cultural productions.
Covering a broad range of narrative forms from short stories and
novels like The Known World to films like 12 Years a Slave and the
music of Missy Elliott, Dana Renee Horton engages with
post-neo-slave narratives, a genre she defines as literary and
visual texts that mesh conventions of postmodernity with the
neo-slave narrative. Focusing on the characterization of black
women in these texts, Horton argues that they are portrayed as
commodities who commodify slaves, a fluid and complex
characterization that is a foundational characteristic of
postmodern identity and emphasizes how postmodern identity
restructures the conception of slave-owners.
