The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature
Race is central to American history. It is impossible to understand the United States without understanding how race has been defined and deployed at every stage of the nation's history. Offering a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the history of race, The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature shows how this history has been represented in literature, and how those representations have influenced American culture. Written…
The Cambridge History of the American Essay
From the country's beginning, essayists in the United States have used their prose to articulate the many ways their individuality has been shaped by the politics, social life, and culture of this place. The Cambridge History of the American Essay offers the fullest account to date of this diverse and complex history. From Puritan writings to essays by Indigenous authors, from Transcendentalist and Pragmatist texts to Harlem Renaissance essays, f…
The Cambridge Companion to Contemporary African American Literature
African American literature has changed in startling ways since the end of the Black Arts Era. The last five decades have generated new paradigms of racial formation and novel patterns of cultural production, circulation, and reception. This volume takes up the challenge of mapping the varied and changing field of contemporary African American writing. Balancing the demands of historical and political context with attention to aesthetic innovatio…
In retrospect: Object Lessons forum
Our contribution takes shape as reflections on Object Lessons (Wiegman, 2012) from the perspective of three scholars of race, gender and sexuality who were also graduate students of Robyn Wiegman in the mid-2000s at Duke University. All three of us took Introduction to Feminist Theory with her and all three of us received graduate certificates in Feminist Studies. Our educational and career trajectories also share this similarity: we received PhD…
Grounds for Collective Action
The Black Lives Matter movement experienced a groundswell of support in the summer of 2020. The scale of mobilization was staggering, with marches and rallies held in every corner of the country. Since then, support for the movement has dropped, and some see this as an indication that white support for Black Lives Matter was only ever fickle and thin. In May 2020 Percival Everett published a novel that contests the reduction of activist sentiment…

Introduction: How American Literature Understands Poverty
Pleasure in the News: African American Readership and Sexuality in the Black Press
Between 1927 and 1930, the country's leading Black newspapers closely followed a case filed by the tearoom proprietor Eva Fitzhugh against Dr. Arthur L. Curtis and Helen Gordon Curtis, a prominent Washington, D.C., couple. The details of the case were scandalous. Fitzhugh accused the Curtises of assault after having an affair with the doctor and then being subjected to an abortion procedure conducted by him and his physician father. The keen inte…

Street Players: Black Pulp Fiction and the Making of a Literary Underground
Difference and Repetition
While Iceberg Slim stumbled into the Black Power era, an unknown quantity named Donald Goines began publishing books with Holloway House that were distinct from sleaze. This chapter shows how Goines, between 1971 and 1973, surpassed Slim’s output and set the terms for the market for black pulp fiction. Goines’s books were fast-paced and action-packed; they rarely exhibited the vernacular flair for which Slim was known. But as much as he relied on…
