| Zusammenfassung: | Race, Work and Desire analyses literary representations of work relationships across the colour-line from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Michele Birnbaum examines inter-racial bonds in fiction and literary correspondence by black and white authors and artists - including Elizabeth Keckley, Frances E. W. Harper, W. D. Howells, Grace King, Kate Chopin, Langston Hughes, Amy Spingarn and Carl Van Vechten - exploring the way servants and employers, doctors and patients, and patrons and artists negotiate their racial differences for artistic and political ends. Situating these relationships in literary and cultural context, Birnbaum argues that the literature reveals the complexity of cross-racial relations in the workplace, which, although often represented as an oasis of racial harmony, is in fact the very site where race politics are most fiercely engaged. This study productively complicates current debates about cross-racial collaboration in American literary and race studies, and will be of interest to scholars in both literary and cultural studies |

Harper's Iola Leroy and W.D. Howells's An imperative duty -- 'Alien hands' in Kate Chopin's The awakening -- 'For blood that is not yours': Langston Hughes and the art of patronage -- Epilogue: 'co-workers in the kingdom of culture' Race, Work and Desire analyses literary representations of work relationships across the colour-line from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Michele Birnbaum examines inter-racial bonds in fiction and literary correspondence by black and white authors and artists - including Elizabeth Keckley, Frances E. W. Harper, W. D. Howells, Grace King, Kate Chopin, Langston Hughes, Amy Spingarn and Carl Van Vechten - exploring the way servants and employers, doctors and patients, and patrons and artists negotiate their racial differences for artistic and political ends. Situating these relationships in literary and cultural context, Birnbaum argues that the literature reveals the complexity of cross-racial relations in the workplace, which, although often represented as an oasis of racial harmony, is in fact the very site where race politics are most fiercely engaged. This study productively complicates current debates about cross-racial collaboration in American literary and race studies, and will be of interest to scholars in both literary and cultural studies Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1860-1930 gnd rswk-swf American literature / 20th century / History and criticism Race in literature American literature / 19th century / History and criticism Interpersonal relations in literature African Americans in literature Race relations in literature Friendship in literature Whites in literature Desire in literature Work in literature Ethnische Beziehungen Motiv (DE-588)4176974-0 gnd rswk-swf Wunschtraum (DE-588)4345669-8 gnd rswk-swf Arbeitswelt Motiv (DE-588)4120923-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Arbeitswelt Motiv (DE-588)4120923-0 s Geschichte 1860-1930 z 1\p DE-604 Wunschtraum (DE-588)4345669-8 s 2\p DE-604 Ethnische Beziehungen Motiv (DE-588)4176974-0 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-12019-7 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-82425-5 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511519284 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
