Tearing the Goat's Flesh
A negative image of the homosexual must be promoted to preserve the heterosexual society, an idea that extends to the construction of African-American masculinity. African Americans represent the lack of boundaries in a chaotic culture. The resulting presumption that blacks are subhuman and irrational comes from the history of slavery and the presumed separateness of the race. Homosexuals also have been cut from their history by society and there…

Double Consciousness in Black and White
Double Consciousness in Black and White Robert Reid-Pharr (bio) At the panel “Callaloo: Literary and Cultural Studies,” Robert Reid-Pharr presented these remarks. It will come as no surprise when I say that we are in a moment of great change and crisis. To state the matter with some level of bluntness and sobriety, the US presidency has been taken by a right-wing nativist movement given new focus and energy by the cult of personality surrounding …
Primitive at the Plantation's Edge
There comes a time when the only thing that one can do is admit defeat. Standing at the tail end of a Black Studies movement established as part of the articulation of anti-segregationist, anti-colonialist African and African American political and cultural insurgencies, one is made painfully aware of a sort of necessary and inevitable social and professional marginalization structuring the everyday existence of the so-called black scholar. The b…
Clean
In a reading of Samuel R. Delany's underexamined 1984 science fiction novel, Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, Reid-Pharr uses the work of theorists such as Leo Bersani, Mary Douglas, Orlando Patterson, and Hortense Spillers to question the necessity of gay men's relinquishing a presumably dirty and immature gay past in favor of a newfound respectability. Claiming that this process of cleansing works to create a "deadened subjectivity," he …
The Stranger's Work
The Stranger's Work reads Hazel Carby's Reconstructing Womanhood into a critical tradition that considers the awkwardness and "outsider" status of Western intellectuals, particularly those who take up the subjects of diaspora and colonization. With special emphasis on C.L.R. James' Mariners, Renegades, and Castaways, Albert Camus' The Stranger, and James Baldwin's "Stranger in the Village" Reid-Pharr argues that Carby's particular genius is her s…
The slave narrative and early black American literature
There is perhaps no stronger impetus within the study of Black American literature and culture than the will to return, the desire to name the original, the source, the root, that seminal moment at which the many-tongued diversity of ancient West Africa gave way to the monolingualism of black North America. This explains why within the span of no more than fifty years the polite nomenclature that has been used to define "us" has moved decidedly b…
Once You Go Black
2007 Lambda Literary Award Finalist, LGBT StudiesRichard Wright. Ralph Ellison. James Baldwin. Literary and cultural critic Robert Reid-Pharr asserts that these and other post-World War II intellectuals announced the very themes of race, gender, and sexuality with which so many contemporary critics are now engaged. While at its most elemental Once You Go Black is an homage to these thinkers, it is at the same time a reconsideration of black Ameri…
The Cambridge Companion to the African American Slave Narrative
The slave narrative has become a crucial genre within African American literary studies and an invaluable record of the experience and history of slavery in the United States. This Companion examines the slave narrative's relation to British and American abolitionism, Anglo-American literary traditions such as autobiography and sentimental literature, and the larger African American literary tradition. Special attention is paid to leading exponen…

Conjugal Union
In his new book, Robert Reid-Pharr argues that black gender and sexuality have always played a crucial role in questions of black identity. He identifies the origins of a national African American literature in the founding of the Black press in 1827 and the beginnings of a novelistic tradition in the antebellum period. Reid-Pharr shows how state conventions, churches, newspapers, and novels - predominantly aimed at Northeastern Black communities…

An Interview With Samuel R. Delany
REID-PHARR: Sex and sexuality are recurring themes in all of your later works. I wonder what meaning, what insights, you believe it's possible to glean from an examination of sexuality, particularly that of sexual minorities, homosexual, sadomasochist, participant in cross-generational or anonymous sex. Here I am specifically referring to Gorgik and his sexualized slave collar, Kid and his sexual trespassing of gender and age boundaries, Marq Dye…
