| Zusammenfassung: | "As downward mobility continues to be an international issue, Robin Brooks makes a timely intervention between the humanities and social sciences by examining how Black women's cultural production engages debates about the growth in income and wealth gaps in global society during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this innovative book employs major contemporary texts by both African American and Caribbean writers--Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, Dawn Turner, Olive Senior, Oonya Kempadoo, Merle Hodge, and Diana McCaulay--to demonstrate how neoliberalism, within the broader framework of racial capitalism, reframes structural inequalities as personal failures, thus obscuring how to improve unjust conditions. Through interviews with authors, textual analyses of the fiction, and a diagramming of cross-class relationships, Brooks offers compelling new insight on literary portrayals of class inequalities and division. She reconceptualizes the scope of the Black women's literary tradition since the 1970s by repositioning the importance of class, and she explores why the imagination matters as we think about novel ways to address long-standing and simultaneously evolving inequities"-- |

Using an interdisciplinary approach, this innovative book employs major contemporary texts by both African American and Caribbean writers--Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, Dawn Turner, Olive Senior, Oonya Kempadoo, Merle Hodge, and Diana McCaulay--to demonstrate how neoliberalism, within the broader framework of racial capitalism, reframes structural inequalities as personal failures, thus obscuring how to improve unjust conditions. Through interviews with authors, textual analyses of the fiction, and a diagramming of cross-class relationships, Brooks offers compelling new insight on literary portrayals of class inequalities and division. She reconceptualizes the scope of the Black women's literary tradition since the 1970s by repositioning the importance of class, and she explores why the imagination matters as we think about novel ways to address long-standing and simultaneously evolving inequities"-- Morrison, Toni 1931-2019 (DE-588)118911627 gnd rswk-swf Senior, Olive 1941- (DE-588)12146508X gnd rswk-swf Hodge, Merle 1944- (DE-588)120938952 gnd rswk-swf Naylor, Gloria 1950-2016 (DE-588)11891183X gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Soziale Klasse Motiv (DE-588)4315466-9 gnd rswk-swf Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 gnd rswk-swf Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 gnd rswk-swf Schwarze Frau (DE-588)4286929-8 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Ungleichheit Motiv (DE-588)4201487-6 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaftsroman (DE-588)4157065-0 gnd rswk-swf Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Black people in literature American fiction / African American authors / History and criticism Caribbean fiction (English) / Black authors / History and criticism American fiction / Women authors / History and criticism Caribbean fiction (English) / Women authors / History and criticism Income distribution / In literature Social classes in literature American fiction / African American authors American fiction / Women authors Blacks in literature Criticism, interpretation, etc USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Karibik (DE-588)4073241-1 g Schwarze Frau (DE-588)4286929-8 s Schriftstellerin (DE-588)4053311-6 s Frauenliteratur (DE-588)4113622-6 s Gesellschaftsroman (DE-588)4157065-0 s Soziale Klasse Motiv (DE-588)4315466-9 s Soziale Ungleichheit Motiv (DE-588)4201487-6 s Geschichte z DE-604 Morrison, Toni 1931-2019 (DE-588)118911627 p Naylor, Gloria 1950-2016 (DE-588)11891183X p Senior, Olive 1941- (DE-588)12146508X p Hodge, Merle 1944- (DE-588)120938952 p Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-4696-6648-8 |
