Sacral Grooves, Limbo Gateways offers a corrective to some of America's institutionalized invisibilities by delving into the submerged networks of ritual performance, writing, intercultural history, and migration that have linked the coastal U.S. South with the Caribbean and the wider Atlantic world. This interdisciplinary study slips beneath the bar of rigid national and literary periods, embarking upon deeper--more rhythmic and embodied--signatures of time. It swings low through ecologies and symbolic orders of creolized space. And it reappraises pluralistic modes of knowledge, kinship, and authority that have sustained vital forms of agency (such as jazz) amid abysses of racialized trauma. Drawing from Haitian Vodou and New Orleanian Voudou and from Cuban and South Floridian Santeri?a, as well as from Afro-Baptist (Caribbean, Geechee, and Bahamian) models of encounters with otherness, this book reemplaces deep-southern texts within the counterclockwise ring-stepping of a long Afro-Atlantic modernity. Turning to an orphan girl's West African initiation tale to follow a remarkably traveled body of feminine rites and writing (in works by Paule Marshall, Zora Neale Hurston, Lydia Cabrera, William Faulkner, James Weldon Johnson, and LeAnne Howe, among others), Cartwright argues that only in holistic form, emergent from gulfs of cross-cultural witness, can literary and humanistic authority find legitimacy. Without such grounding, he contends, our educational institutions blind and even poison students, bringing them to "swallow lye," like the grandson of Phoenix Jackson in Eudora Welty's "A Worn Path." Here, literary study may open pathways to alternative medicines--fetched by tenacious avatars like Phoenix (or an orphan Kumba or a shell-shaking Turtle)--to remedy the lies our partial histories have made us swallow. 410 0$aNew southern studies. 606 $aAfrican Americans$zSouthern States$xSocial life and customs 606 $aCreoles$zSouthern States$xSocial life and customs 606 $aBlack people$zCaribbean Area$xSocial life and customs 606 $aCreoles$zCaribbean Area$xSocial life and customs 606 $aSpace and time$xSocial aspects 606 $aAuthority$xSocial aspects 606 $aAmerican literature$zSouthern States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean literature (English)$xHistory and criticism 607 $aSouthern States$xSocial life and customs 607 $aCaribbean Area$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aCreoles$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aBlack people$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aCreoles$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aSpace and time$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAuthority$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a305.896/073075 700 $aCartwright$b Keith$f1960-$0921660 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452799203321 996 $aSacral grooves, limbo gateways$92067676 997 $aUNINA
