BAST
Of Bodies, Communities, and Voices
This study investigates the narrative contribution
of texts by African American science fiction author
Octavia Butler to ongoing philosophical debates
about the conceptualization of agency. These debates
have been central and highly controversial both with-
in the context of postmodern de- and reconstructions
of the subject and within the ongoing struggle of
feminism, critical race studies, and other schools of
thought for social justice.
Discussing five novels and one short story by Butler,
this book demonstrates that these texts, creatively
referencing African American literary traditions, do
not only individually perform multifaceted theoreti-
cal work regarding agency. They also engage in an
intertextual dialogue with each other on the ethical
and theoretical complexities of agency, specifically
in relation to three categories at the heart of African
American (women’s) cultural history: body, communi-
ty, and voice.
