Description
Arlene R. Keizer's groundbreaking new book explores how writers like Carolivia Herron, Charles Johnson, Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison, and Derek Walcott theorize the nature of the black subject in their literary works.
In this thought-provoking study, Keizer examines theories derived from fictional works alongside established theories of subject formation, such as psychoanalysis, Althusserian interpellation, performance theory, and postmodern subjectivity under late capitalism. By drawing connections between these two bodies of theory, Keizer forces a reconsideration of the conceptual bases of established theories of subjectivity.
The result is a significant contribution to African American and Caribbean Studies, literary theory, and critical race and ethnic studies, offering new insights into the formation of identity in fiction and its implications for our understanding of subjectivity.
