The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature
Race is central to American history. It is impossible to understand the United States without understanding how race has been defined and deployed at every stage of the nation's history. Offering a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the history of race, The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature shows how this history has been represented in literature, and how those representations have influenced American culture. Written…
White Supremacist Submission
Scholars tend to envision the sexual politics of settler colonialism and slavery through masculinist conceptions in which penetration designates mastery and receptiveness subjugation. This article asks instead how white desires for sexual submission to nonwhite men operate within white supremacy. It augments white trans and queer studies' conceptualizations of bottoming with theories of white submission found in Black thought, particularly Frantz…
Race, Sex, and God
Readers of queer American literature require no introduction to the conceptual rewards that arise when writers intermingle sex and God, queer experience and theology, freedom and religion. Think of Alice Walker's Color Purple and Shug Avery's elaboration of the nonbinary theology presenting God as “It,” a project taking prayer, faith, and divinity as vital components of Avery's womanist and queer thought. As Michael Cobb (2006: 170) notes of the …
Black Mirror
Screened by postures of innocence, professions of good intention, and the disappearing act of ambient ubiquity, white supremacy remains stubbornly evasive in the face of scrutiny. David Ikard, Mark C. Jerng, and Eric Lott share an agenda to find methods and archives for getting past this evasiveness, honing scholarly strategies for rendering the ways of white supremacy newly visible and diagnosable. Yet while their questions overlap, their approa…
Jewett’s Natural History of Sexuality
In this article I ask what happens if we consider Jewett, who spent most of her adult life at the epicenter of New England intellectual culture, as a pivotal figure in the Western history of theorizing sexuality, and her 1884 novel, A Country Doctor, as a significant document in the history of theorizing sexual and gender deviation, perfectly poised in between the sea changes of evolutionary biology and Freudian psychoanalysis. Jewett's fiction t…
