Northern/Southern Transfers
African American authors including Nella Larsen, Richard Wright, and Cecil Brown have produced a surprisingly substantial body of fiction depicting African American protagonists traveling to and living in Denmark. This essay turns to a more recent novel that complicates and extends this Black- and North Atlantic imaginary by re-routing it via the Caribbean. Tiphanie Yanique's Land of Love and Drowning (2014) renders the last days of Danish coloni…
Transnational and Intertextual Geographies of Race, Sex, and Masculinity
This article considers Cecil Brown's debut novel The Life and Loves of Mr. Jiveass Nigger (1969) within the context of critical debates about transnational African American studies, and with a thematic focus on the novel's representation of race, sex, and masculinity. It explores Jiveass's intertextual relationships with Richard Wright's Native Son (1940), Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice (1968), and James Baldwin's writing. In particular, the arti…
Creating and Consuming the American South
This book explores how an eclectic range of narratives and images of the American South have been created and consumed—indeed, often created for consumption. The thirteen essays orient our attention to the ways in which ideas and stories about “the South” and “southernness” have social and material effects that register on various local, regional, national, and transnational scales. Like the two previously published volumes in this series, Creati…
Introduction
Creating Citizenship in the Nineteenth-Century South
This volume brings together historians and literary scholars in a discussion about the evolving concept of citizenship in the nineteenth-century South. Race, and especially slavery and emancipation, determined much about citizenship, in large part because the South was a society with “anti-citizens”-people whose status defined them outside of the realm of citizenship. However, Civil War and Reconstruction changed things radically, redefining the …

Creating Citizenship in the Nineteenth-Century South. Edited by William A. Link, David Brown, Brian Ward, and Martyn Bone. (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2013. Pp. viii, 302. $74.95, ISBN 978-0-8130-4413-2.) As the editors of this volume point out, studies of citizenship often focus too narrowly on the expansion and retraction of formal political and civil rights. By bringing together wide-ranging--some might even say eclectic--essays…

The transnational turn, Houston Baker's new southern studies and Patrick Neate'sTwelve Bar Blues
This article considers Houston Baker's take on the 'new southern studies' in Turning South Again (2001) in relation to the transnational turn in American studies and Paul Gilroy's theory of the 'Black Atlantic'. The article begins by pointing out that the vision of 'the South' formulated in southern (literary) studies during and after the 1950s frequently cut against the nationalism and exceptionalism central to the development of American studie…
