Whiteness and American Literature
This volume provides an illuminating exploration of how ideas about whiteness have shaped the literature and culture of the United States. Covering nearly 250 years – from the 1790 Naturalization Act, which limited access to citizenship to immigrants who were 'free white person[s],' to the present – Whiteness and American Literature considers how a broad spectrum of novels, movies, short stories, television shows, poems, songs, and other works de…
The (Neo-)Slave Narrative and the Plantationocene
Utilizing the concept of the Plantationocene, which articulates how racial capitalism created and continues to shape the climate crisis, this essay connects the slave narrative to the contemporary neo-slave narrative to show how the plantation serves as the "ugly blueprint" (McKittrick) of the climate crisis. It also traces the alternative ecologies of resistance and repair that this literature encodes. By reading African American literature as c…
Selling Antislavery
A richly illustrated history of the American Anti-Slavery Society and its print, material, and visual artifactsBeginning with its establishment in the early 1830s, the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS) recognized the need to reach and consolidate a diverse and increasingly segmented audience. To do so, it produced a wide array of print, material, and visual media: almanacs and slave narratives, pincushions and gift books, broadsides and panora…

It uses a print culture methodology to address the following issues: Who published the slave narrative? What did its original editions look like? How widely was it circulated? In what forms was it distributed? The perspectival shift from literary text to material obje…

From its outset, the US anti-slavery movement embraced new visual technologies and modes of visual display to bring slavery into focus. Pictorial representations of slavery were central to the campaign. In the 1830s, the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS) circulated some 40,000 depictions of slavery a year, ranging from woodcuts and broadsides to engravings and portraits (J. Wilson 354). This extensive iconographical system was deployed and rec…
