Many African diasporic novelists and poets allude to or cite
archival documents in their writings, foregrounding the elements of
archival research and data in their literary texts, and revising
the material remnants of the archive. This book reads black
historical novels and poetry in an interdisciplinary context, to
examine the multiple archives that have produced our historical
consciousness. In the history of African diaspora literature, black
writers and intellectuals have led the way for an analysis of the
archive, querying dominant archives and revising the ways black
people have been represented in the legal and hegemonic discourses
of the west. Their work in genres as diverse as autobiography,
essay, bibliography, poetry, and the novel attests to the
centrality of this critique in black intellectual culture. Through
literary engagement with the archives of the slave trader,
colonizer, and courtroom, creative writers teach us to read the
archives of history anew, probing between the documents for stories
left untold, questions left unanswered, and freedoms enacted
against all odds. Opening new perspectives on Atlantic history and
culture, Walters generates a dialogue between what was and what
might have been. Ultimately, Walters argues that references to
archival documents in black historical literature introduce a new
methodology for studying both the archive and literature itself,
engaging in a transnational and interdisciplinary reading that
exposes the instability of the archive's truth claim and highlights
rebellious possibility.

As a deeply religious thinker who disclaimed all rationalistic
systems, Martin Buber produced an insightful critique of modern
philosophical ethics, one that became productive soil for another
nontraditional philosophical ethic: feminism's care ethic. In light
of the recent emphasis on the new morality, antifoundationalism,
and postmodernism in ethics, the dialogical ethics of Martin Buber
merits close examination. Most important, Walters compares and
contrasts Buber's and feminism's personalist ethics in light of two
considerations: the lack of attention by feminist writers to the
feminist-Buber linkage and the long-standing and general
inattention by twentieth-century thinkers to the ethical dimensions
of Buber's thought.
