Badia Sahar Ahad details how Nella Larsen, Richard Wright, Jean Toomer, Ralph Ellison, Adrienne Kennedy, and Danzy Senna employed psychoanalytic terms and conceptual models to challenge notions of race and racism in twentieth-century America. Freud Upside Down explores the relationship between these authors and intellectuals and the psychoanalytic movement emerging in the United States over the course of the twentieth century. Examining how psychoanalysis has functioned as a cultural phenomenon within African American literary intellectual communities since the 1920s, Ahad lays out the historiography of the intersections between African American literature and psychoanalysis and considers the creative approaches of African American writers to psychological thought in their work and their personal lives. 410 0$aNew Black studies. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aPsychology in literature 606 $aPsychoanalysis in literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aRace$xPsychological aspects 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPsychology 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature$zUnited States 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aPsychology in literature. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aRace$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPsychology. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature 676 $a810/.9352996073019 686 $a18.06$2bcl 700 $aAhad$b Badia Sahar$01812674 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965275003321 996 $aFreud upside down$94365189 997 $aUNINA
