Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction de Kathy Glass

Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction: Philosophy of Race

Autor Kathy Glass
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 sep 2019
Exploring literary possibilities, Politics and Affect reads black women's text-in particular Frances Harper's "The Two Offers" (1859), Julia Collins's The Curse of Caste (1865), Nella Larsen's Quicksand (1928), and Danzy Senna's Caucasia (1998)-as richly creative documents saturated with sociopolitical value. Interested in how African American women writers from the nineteenth century to the present have mined the politics of affect and emotion to document love, shame, and suffering in environments shaped by race, Kathy Glass gives sustained attention to the impact of racist affect on the black body, and examines how black women writers deploy emotional states to engender sociopolitical change.

Recenzii

Collectively, Glass illuminates texts that challenge racism and make visible the social and political value of love. The connection of the texts through the sociopolitical power of love is clear and relevant. . . As Glass ends with Kimberlé Crenshaw's demand to acknowledge the pain of racism in urgent attention to intersectionality, she turns to a list of twentieth-century authors that also acknowledge the pain of racism. Concluding with the conditions of racism and homopho­bia noted by Audre Lorde, Glass returns the reader to the longstanding commitment to representing social justice in texts. Clearly, this study can encompass even more narratives and her commitment to reading these closely should be commended. This book is perhaps the most extensive study of affect in black women's literature specifically. . .
Politics and Affect intervenes in affect, queer, philosophical, and cultural studies by calling readers to an epistemological project grounded unabashedly in the radicalizing forces of love and the range of emotions- joy, sorrow, excitement, shame, grief, and all the others that render us human. By applying affect and reader response theories to race, black fictions, and embodied blackness, Politics and Affect becomes an astute study surpassing theorizations by some of the most prominent affect, queer, and feminist philosophers. Glass convincingly argues that African American women's fictions from the antebellum period to the present establish intense emotions including love and empathy as fundamental to the cultivation of antiracist sociopolitical activism.
One of the first scholars to apply affect studies to black women's fiction, Kathy Glass persuasively argues that affect should be understood not in terms of mere sentimentality, but as a potentially radical evocation of social action. Offering important new readings of Frances Harper, Julia Collins, Nella Larsen, and Danzy Senna, Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction skillfully analyzes the multiple operations through which affect poses a transgressive challenge to racist ideology and practice.
Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction offers sophisticated interpretations of African American women writers' attention to female spirituality, agency, and action. In this perilous political moment in history, Glass animates how black women-across place and time-wiggle, push, shove, and reason their way outside of small enclosures. The sweep of Glass's historical reach offers generous, generative interpretations of women's commitments to love's innovations. Through careful philosophical and sociopolitical reflection, she rescues love from the dustbin of sentimentality, illuminating the beauty that emanates from seeing Black women's writing with 'loving eyes.' That, itself, can change the world.
