Nehl's provocative readings of Toni Morrison's A Mercy, Saidiya Hartman's Lose Your Mother, Yvette Christiansë's Unconfessed, Lawrence Hill's The Book of Negroes and Marlon James' The Book of Night Women delineate how these texts engage in a fruitful dialogue with African diaspora theory about the complex relation between the local and transnational and the enduring effects of slavery. Reflecting on the ethics of narration, this study is particularly attentive to the risks of representing anti-black violence and to the intricacies involved in (re-)appropriating slavery's archive.»An important contribution to the study of this new generation of neo-slave narratives that continues to develop with no end in sight as it engages the history and afterlife of chattel slavery on a transnational level, recasting the African Atlantic at the beginning of a still young century from nuanced postslavery perspectives.« Paula von Gleich, Amerikastudien, 62/4 (2018)Postcolonial studies ;Volume 28.Slavery; African Diaspora Studies; Neo-Slave Narratives; Race; Black Feminist Studies; U.S.A.; Ghana; South Africa; Canada; Jamaica; Toni Morrison; Saidiya Hartman; Yvette Christiansë; Lawrence Hill; Marlon James; Anti-Black Violence; Postcolonialism; America; Cultural Studies; Memory Culture; American Studies;African Diaspora Studies.America.American Studies.Anti-Black Violence.Black Feminist Studies.Canada.Cultural Studies.Ghana.Jamaica.Lawrence Hill.Marlon James.Memory Culture.Neo-Slave Narratives.Postcolonialism.Race.Saidiya Hartman.South Africa.Toni Morrison.U.S.A.Yvette Christiansë.Slavery; African Diaspora Studies; Neo-Slave Narratives; Race; Black Feminist Studies; U.S.A.; Ghana; South Africa; Canada; Jamaica; Toni Morrison; Saidiya Hartman; Yvette Christiansë; Lawrence Hill; Marlon James; Anti-Black Violence; Postcolonialism; America; Cultural Studies; Memory Culture; American Studies;809/.93355Nehl Markusaut985928Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2017: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910136504403321Transnational Black Dialogues2253500UNINA
