Introduction : Black textuality and psychoanalytic literary criticism -- Fantasizing plenitude : re-reading desire in Megda, by Emma Dunham Kelley -- Race and desire : Dark princess, a romance, by William Edward Burghardt Du Bois -- Rage, race, and desire : Savage holiday, by Richard Wright -- Desire and death : seducing the lost father in Quicksand, by Nella Larsen -- Mourning, humor, and reparation : detecting the joke in Seraph on the Suwanee, by Zora Neale Hurston -- Conclusion : plenitude in Black textuality
Although psychoanalytic theory is one of the most potent and influential tools in contemporary literary criticism, to date it has had very little impact on the study of African American literature. Critical methods from the disciplines of history, sociology, and cultural studies have dominated work in the field. Now, in this exciting new book by the author of Domestic Allegories: The Black Heroine's Text at the Turn of the Century, Claudia Tate demonstrates that psychoanalytic paradigms can produce rich and compelling readings of African American textuality. With clear and accessible summaries
