Moving from an over-reliance on the "madwoman" as a romanticized figure constructed in opposition to the status quo, contributors to this volume examine how black women authors use madness, trauma, mental illness, and psychopathology as a refraction of cultural contradictions, psychosocial fissures, and political tensions of the larger social systems in which their diverse literary works are set through a cultural studies approach. The volume is constructed in three sections: Revisiting the Archive, Reinscribing Its Texts: Slavery and Madness as Historical Contestation, The Contradictions of Witnessing in Conflict Zones: Trauma and Testimony, and Novel Form, Mythic Space: Syncretic Rituals as Healing Balm. The novels under review re-envision the initial trauma of slavery and imperialism, both acknowledging the impact of these events on diasporic populations and expanding the discourse beyond that framework. Through madness and healing as sites of psychic return, these novels become contemporary parables of cultural resistance. 410 0$aGender and Cultural Studies in Africa and the Diaspora,$x2946-3807 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aCulture 606 $aLiterature 606 $aSex 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aAfrican American Culture 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aAmerican Culture 606 $aContemporary Literature 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 676 $a306.08996073 702 $aBrown$b Caroline A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGarvey$b Johanna X.
