" From the white editorial authentication of slave narratives, to the cultural hybridity of the Harlem Renaissance, to the overtly independent publications of the Black Arts movement, to the commercial power of Oprah's Book Club, African American textuality has been uniquely shaped by the contests for cultural power inherent in literary production and distribution. Always haunted by the commodification of blackness, African American literary production interfaces with the processes of publication and distribution in particularly charged ways. An energetic exploration of the struggles and complexities of African American print culture, this collection ranges across the history of African American literature, and the authors have much to contribute on such issues as editorial and archival preservation, canonization, and the "packaging" and repackaging of black-authored texts. Publishing Blackness aims to project African Americanist scholarship into the discourse of textual scholarship, provoking further work in a vital area of literary study"--

This book examines how cultural and ideological reactions to activism in the post-Civil Rights Black community were depicted in fiction written by Black women writers, 1965-1980. By recognizing and often challenging prevailing cultural paradigms within the post-Civil Rights era, writers such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara, and Paule Marshall fictionalized the black community in critical ways that called for further examination of progressive activism after the much publicized 'end' of the Civil Rights Movement. Through their writings, the authors' confronted marked shifts

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction offers new arguments about the origins of detective fiction in the United States, tracing the lineage of the genre back to unexpected texts and uncovering how authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Rudolph Fisher made use of the genre's puzzle-elements to explore the shifting dynamics of race and labor in America. The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production. Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction.

À la fin du xixe siècle aux États-Unis, la littérature d'écrivains noirs était encore placée sous le signe du soupçon, et ses auteurs demeuraient des exceptions. En publiant son premier recueil de nouvelles en 1899 dans l'une des plus grandes maisons d'édition de l'époque, Charles W. Chesnutt allait devenir un pionnier de la littérature noire du xxe siècle. Redécouvert dans les années 1960, méconnu en France, cet auteur figure aujourd'hui parmi les classiques de la littérature des États-Unis. Son accès à la publication dans une société profondément discriminatoire, au moment où l'édition américaine se constituait en véritable industrie et voyait se transformer la relation éditeur-auteur, nous pousse à interroger la complexité des relations entre éditeurs blancs et auteurs noirs. Cette histoire particulière éclaire plus largement un pan du développement de l'histoire de l'édition aux États-Unis, entre 1880 et 1910. Ancrée dans une double tradition française et anglo-saxonne, cette étude propose de retracer le trajet et la formation de cet écrivain africain-américain depuis son désir d'écriture, sa formation, l'apprentissage d'une profession, jusqu'à la matérialisation de son texte, et la diffusion de son premier livre. Au terme de cette trajectoire, c'est bien le passage par lequel The Conjure Woman devint livre qui se dévoile, révélant les mécanismes de la métamorphose du texte en objet de lecture.
