The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production. Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction. 410 0$aClass, culture. 606 $aWork in literature 606 $aSlavery in literature 606 $aWorking class in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism 610 $aliterature 610 $acultural studies 610 $aEdgar Allan Poe 610 $aJupiter 610 $aMark Twain 615 0$aWork in literature. 615 0$aSlavery in literature. 615 0$aWorking class in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.087209 700 $aRobinson$b Michelle$f1979-$0970911 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136431603321 996 $aDreams for Dead Bodies$92435471 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04163nam 22006975 450 001 9910522924503321 005 20240321214941.0 010 $a9783030839215 010 $a3030839214 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-83921-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6803008 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6803008 035 $a(CKB)19410595000041 035 $a(OCoLC)1287132148 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-83921-5 035 $a(EXLCZ)9919410595000041 100 $a20211110d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEveryday Communists in South Africa's Liberation Struggle $eThe Lives of Ivan and Lesley Schermbrucker /$fby Alan Kirkaldy 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (397 pages) 225 1 $aPalgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements,$x2634-6567 311 08$aPrint version: Kirkaldy, Alan Everyday Communists in South Africa's Liberation Struggle Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2021 9783030839208 327 $a1.

Focusing on the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA), the author explores the lives of Ivan and Lesley Schermbrucker, whose contribution to the party was more clandestine than that of leaders such as Bram Fischer and Joe Slovo. They represent how 'ordinary' people could play significant roles based on stances more rooted in common decency and morality than in Marxist theory. The book also sheds light on the interplay between transnational and national tendencies during the liberation movement, particularly between the 1940s and the 1960s. The Schermbruckers changed their views in response to the shifting national and international political landscape, the rise of Stalinism, and the flight of South African activists into exile from the 1960s. Both fluent in African languages, they were able to create relationships of trust with African members ofthe CPSA. Examining tensions and conflicts during the liberation struggle, this book provides fresh insights into 'underground' activism.
