Grounds of Engagement
Both of these books, in very different ways, explore aesthetic and philosophical resistance to the production and enforcement of strict racial hierarchies. Stéphane Robolin centers his study in the years of South African apartheid (Afrikaans for separateness), a set of policies enacted from 1948 to 1994 that rigidly demarcated, disfranchised, and prohibited the movements and actions of those the state designated black, coloured, or Indian. But as…

Southern Nonidentity
Listening to melancholia
Alice Walker's second novel, Meridian (1976), explores both the ways in which racist societies initiate and exacerbate melancholia and how this psychological dynamic can and must be overcome. The novel posits not a simple 'cure' but rather a process of questioning and learning from the past and one's painful attachments to it. In this way it negotiates scholarly concerns about psychoanalytic theory, as manifest particularly in literary criticism …

Zora Neale Hurston's imperialistic political rhetoric in Tell My Horse seems incongruous with her previous cultural politics, but this work should be considered in relation to developments in Haitian ethnology. Where Hurston had previously believed that cultural populism could energize a democracy, her commitment to folklore was here linked with an authoritarian and racially essentialist political ideology. Hurston responded by severing her cultu…
