How Literature Understands Poverty: A Genealogy of the Kitchen Table
In response to the implicit inquiry driving this special issue—how does American literature understand poverty?—I posit that it is a question of genealogy. There are multiple ways to address this question; for example, one might begin with John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath (1939) or Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle (1906) to think through the exploitation of (white) immigrants and their labor or Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952) to consider clas…
Picturing Katrina: The queer child and black death-birthing narratives
Drawing on refugee studies, "Picturing Katrina: The Queer Child and Black Death-Birthing Narratives" explores the transient performance of antiblack and refugee policies and procedures and how this transmutation manifested around Hurricane Katrina. The article focuses on Beasts of the Southern Wild, which is an allegory of Hurricane Katrina, and its black death-birthing narrative- Beasts calls upon a black girl to produce an imagined future groun…
Prayin' for queer times: Choir Boy and enactments of transient performance
Prayin' for Queer Times: Choir Boy and Enactments of Transient Performance" serves as an introduction to this special issue of Cultural Dynamics on Transient Performance.

Resisting Dispossession: Performative Spatial Irruptions and the LA Poverty Department
I was so unimpressed with the city council. ... They had a line of homeless people who were allowed to vote because Kevin [Michael Key] was running for councilman and everything. So, they wanted IDs ... [The person tabling] asked me, “Well I need some id. Do you have any ID?” And the way he said it, he knew I wouldn't have any id. It was like I wasn't even there. I was invisible. He was just going through the motions of making the sound. But he d…
Arteries of capital: William Johnson and the practice of black moneylending in the antebellum U.S. South
This essay examines the world of black moneylenders in the pre-Civil War U.S. South and demonstrates that black Americans were essential arteries for capital, bound to their communities through complex relationships of debt and obligation. In particular, it reconstructs the lending practices of William T. Johnson, a former slave and free black barber in Natchez, Mississippi who, between 1835 and 1851, extended more than 250 loans totaling at leas…

Women at Sea: Travel Writing and the Margins of Caribbean Discourse
Women at Sea: Travel Writing and the Margins of Caribbean Discourse emphasizes the importance of women’s travel narratives, once regarded as superficial in comparison with men’s travelogues, as essential documentary sources for understanding the society and transculturation of the Caribbean. The collection of essays in this anthology addresses two questions rarely posed in the growing academic research on travel writing, gender, and colonialism. …
