The study offers a genealogy of how the development of racial blackness within the mercantile capitalist system of Euro-American colonial imperialism was constitutive of Western modernity. The book explores the complex transnational systems of economic transactions and political exchanges foundational to the formation of modern subjectivitie…
The Cambridge Companion to Toni Morrison
Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is one of the most widely studied of contemporary American authors. Her novels, particularly Beloved, have had a dramatic impact on the American canon and attracted considerable critical commentary. This 2007 Companion introduces and examines her oeuvre as a whole, the first evaluation to include not only her famous novels, but also her other literary works (short story, drama, musical, and opera), her social and lite…
Toward the New Black Studies: Or Beyond the Old Race Man
A meditation on the present and future of Black studies, this article uses several examples to chart the institutional rise of the discipline of this subject. It is an investigation into the central hetero-normative assumptions about “the Black community.” As such, the article challenges negative perceptions about Black scholars and Black studies in the academy. Finally, it provides a genealogy of Black studies in which Black queer studies is vie…

Impossible Witnesses: Truth, Abolitionism, and Slave Testimony
Impossible Witnesses: Truth, Abolitionism, and Slave Testimony
In this ambitious and thought-provoking study, Dwight A. McBride places representative black-authored texts spanning the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries “in conversation with canonical Romantic authors and their tropes” to answer the fundamental intellectual question the work poses, “What does it mean for a slave to bear witness to, or to tell the ‘truth’ about slavery?” The four primary concerns of the book are analyzing represen…
James Baldwin Now
One of the most prolific and influential African American writers, James Baldwin was for many a harbinger of hope, a man who traversed the genres of art-writing novels, essays, and poetry. James Baldwin Now takes advantage of the latest interdisciplinary work to understand the complexity of Baldwin's vision and contributions without needing to name him as exclusively gay, expatriate, black, or activist. It was, in fact, Baldwin who said, it is qu…

Answering this query is one of the goals of this special issue of Callaloo: A Journal of African and African-American Arts and Letters. If "queer studies" as a category has already raised an entire set of questions and issues for scholars, artists, culture pro…
