Reading Contemporary Black British And African American Women Writers: Race, Ethics, Narrative Form (Narrative Theory And Culture)

This work brings together British and American scholars to explore how, in texts by contemporary black women writers in the U.S. and Britain, formal narrative techniques express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking about race in a reader. Taken together, the essays also demonstrate that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow formal structures and literary techniques from one another to describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race.
