African American Literature in Transition, 1750–1800
This volume provides an illuminating exploration of the development of early African American literature from an African diasporic perspective—in Africa, England, and the Americas. It juxtaposes analyses of writings by familiar authors like Phillis Wheatley and Olaudah Equiano with those of lesser known or examined works by writers such as David Margrett and Isabel de Olvera to explore how issues including forced migration, enslavement, authorshi…
Partial Portraits
This essay considers seemingly benign illustrations from nineteenth-century sources, which scholars might be inclined to reproduce for evidentiary use. It critiques representations of African Americans in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine . Through an analysis of portrayals of slavery, it discusses image composition and production to argue that as a visual archive of the nineteenth century, the periodical is an incomplete and misrepresentative eviden…

Willis’s groundbreaking scholarship helped to formally establish an archive of Black visual practice before libraries and cultural institutions began to purposely catalogue such materials.

This essay traces the routes through which the US state, in the form of the presidency, appropriated black …
Forget Me Not”
Friendship albums, blank volumes with decorative covers, emerged around 1825 as part of a growing market of women's print culture. Sentimentalism, the chief vocabulary of the friendship album genre, targeted white women consumers and largely ignored black women. However, freeborn African Americans rigorously engaged sentimental literature in the pages of the friendship album, recasting this artifact as a specimen of antebellum black print culture…

Racial Innocence: Performing American Childhood from Slavery to Civil Rights. New York: New York UP, 2011. The body of scholarship on racist imagery and resistant popular cultures of the nineteenth century organizes a well-covered terrain and leaves little room for innovation. Works like Saidiya…
No Way of Seeing
This essay examines the attempt to market to a mainstream audience a gay, Black rapper—Caushun—who embodies competing claims of “thug” masculinity and “queen” femininity. We argue that Caushun might experience failure because his music, and more importantly his music videos, will offer his target audience “no way of seeing” authenticity in his intersecting identities. That is the viewing experience, theorized as the gaze (Mulvey, 1975 Mulvey, L.,…
