  • Borders, Boundaries, and Frames

    Mae G Henderson, Mae HendersonBOOKBorders, Boundaries, and Frames2013

    The essays in this volume take up the challenge of working out -- or reworking -- the problematics of the borders, the boundaries and the frameworks that structure our various and multiple notions of identity -- textual, personal, collective, generic, and disciplinary. The contributors to this volume write about subjects (and are often themselves subjects) who "refuse to occupy a single territory" -- who cross geographical, cultural, national, li…

  • Toni Morrison’s Beloved Re-Membering The Body As Historical Text

    Mae G HendersonCHAPTERToni Morrison's Beloved1999

    “Things too terrible to relate” were most often the sexual exploitation of slave women by white men. Convention allowed, indeed almost demanded, that these violations be named but not described. Morrison continues, “But most importantly-at least for me-there was no mention of their interior life” ( emphasis added). The writer’s “job”-as Morrison sees it-”becomes how to rip that veil drawn over proceedings too terrible to relate,” to “find and exp…
