African Diasporic Women's Narratives: Politics of Resistance, Survival, and Citizenship

Simone A. Alexander

4.9/5 (9080 ratings)

Description:Using feminist and womanist theory, Simone Alexander takes as her main point of analysis literary works that focus on the black female body as the physical and metaphorical site of migration. She shows that over time black women have used their bodily presence to complicate and challenge a migratory process often forced upon them by men or patriarchal society.Through in-depth study of selective texts by Audre Lorde, Edwidge Danticat, Maryse Conde, and Grace Nichols, Alexander challenges the stereotypes ascribed to black female sexuality, subverting its assumed definition as diseased, passive, or docile. She also addresses issues of embodiment as she analyses how women s bodies are read and seen; how bodies perform and are performed upon; how they challenge and disrupt normative standards.A multifaceted contribution to studies of gender, race, sexuality and disability issues, African Diasporic Women s Narratives engages with a range of issues as it grapples with the complex interconnectedness of geography, citizenship, and nationalism."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
