Description
Raising the Dead: An Exploration of Death and Subjectivity in Twentieth-Century American Literature and Culture. Sharon Patricia Holland's groundbreaking work challenges traditional methods of literary investigation by bringing together diverse voices to forge connections among African-American literature, queer theory, and feminist studies. By examining works such as Beloved, A Visitation of Spirits, and the music of Consolidated, Holland sheds light on the complex relationship between death and subjectivity in American culture. Through her interdisciplinary approach, Holland reveals how the presence of marginalized groups is often "almost unspeakable," much like death itself. This nuanced exploration offers a new perspective on the intersections of literature, culture, and identity. Raising the Dead will be of interest to scholars and students of American culture, African-American literature, literary theory, gender studies, queer theory, and cultural studies.
