- Description
- West examines the cultural history of Zora Neale Hurston’s (1891-1960) writing and the reception of her work, in an attempt to explain why Hurston died in poverty only to be reclaimed as an important Harlem Renaissance writer decades after her death. West focuses on how Hurston was marketed and reviewed during her career and how literary scholars reappraised her after her death.

- Description
- The authors in this book try to expand the American literary canon by women writers, who do not always fit into genres and periods established on the basis of men's writings. These essays rediscover and 'fit' female writers into the 'white male' scheme of anthologies and college courses, editors Margaret Dickie and Joyce W. Warren question the current boundaries of literary periods, advocating a revised literary canon. The essays consider a wide range of American women writers, including Mary Rowlandson, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Frances Harper, Edith Wharton, Gertrude Stein, Amy Lowell and Adrienne Rich, discussing how the present classification of these writers by periods affects our reading of their work. This volume also studies issues of a need for literary reforms considering differences in race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality

- Description
- Writers of the Harlem Renaissance generally fall into 'folk,' 'bourgeois,' or 'proletarian' aesthetic categories. Jones argues that all three aesthetics influence the historically mislabeled works of Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy West, and Jessie Fauset, and that they share a drive to challenge racial, class, and gender oppression. The book also discusses the writers in relation to contemporary African American women authors.

- Description
- This book examines fiction, memoir, and autobiographical writing by marginalized women whose stories give voice to the gendered dimensions of colonial violence. Drawing from the insights of subaltern studies and postcolonial feminisms, Proma Tagore brings together the work of a diverse group of writers - Toni Morrison, Shani Mootoo, Louise Erdrich, M.K. Indira, Rashsundari Debi, and Mahasweta Devi.She focuses on the affective nature of their narratives and explores the way that personal and historical trauma, initially silenced, may be recorded across generations, as well as across complex national, racial, gender, and sexual lines. The book identifies important shifts in how testimonial literature is theorized, arguing for an understanding of writing and storytelling by women of colour as crucial counter-narratives to what official colonial historicizing has left out.

- Description
- Fox analyzes Harriet Wilson's Our Nig, Elizabeth Keckly's Behind the Scenes, Anna Julia Cooper's A Voice From the South, and Sherley Anne Williams's Dessa Rose. Too often, she argues, writers like these have been overshadowed by figures such as Sojourner Truth or Ida B. Wells, whose more tangible social defiance fits standard models of what resistance looks like. The thinkers highlighted by Fox have been dismissed as elitist, accommodationist, or complicit--yet Fox reveals that in reality, they critique the progressive ideology that underlies the liberal problematic. They are astutely attuned to the areas of American society not reached by notions of liberalism and progress.

In doing so, the book travels from the United States to Africa, following the historical trajectory of Pan-Africanist thought.
