Nehl's provocative readings of Toni Morrison's A Mercy, Saidiya Hartman's Lose Your Mother, Yvette Christianse?'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. 330 1 $a»An important contribution to the study of this new generation of neo-slave narratives that continues to develop with no end in sight as it engages the history and afterlife of chattel slavery on a transnational level, recasting the African Atlantic at the beginning of a still young century from nuanced postslavery perspectives.« Paula von Gleich, Amerikastudien, 62/4 (2018) 410 0$aPostcolonial studies ;$vVolume 28. 606 $aSlavery; African Diaspora Studies; Neo-Slave Narratives; Race; Black Feminist Studies; U.S.A.; Ghana; South Africa; Canada; Jamaica; Toni Morrison; Saidiya Hartman; Yvette Christianse?; Lawrence Hill; Marlon James; Anti-Black Violence; Postcolonialism; America; Cultural Studies; Memory Culture; American Studies; 610 $aAfrican Diaspora Studies. 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aAnti-Black Violence. 610 $aBlack Feminist Studies. 610 $aCanada. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aGhana. 610 $aJamaica. 610 $aLawrence Hill. 610 $aMarlon James. 610 $aMemory Culture. 610 $aNeo-Slave Narratives. 610 $aPostcolonialism. 610 $aRace. 610 $aSaidiya Hartman. 610 $aSouth Africa. 610 $aToni Morrison. 610 $aU.S.A. 610 $aYvette Christiansė. 615 4$aSlavery; African Diaspora Studies; Neo-Slave Narratives; Race; Black Feminist Studies; U.S.A.; Ghana; South Africa; Canada; Jamaica; Toni Morrison; Saidiya Hartman; Yvette Christianse?; Lawrence Hill; Marlon James; Anti-Black Violence; Postcolonialism; America; Cultural Studies; Memory Culture; American Studies; 676 $a809/.93355 700 $aNehl$b Markus$4aut$0985928 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2017: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136504403321 996 $aTransnational Black Dialogues$92253500 997 $aUNINA
