| Zusammenfassung: | How are we to comprehend, diagnose, and counter a system of racist subjugation so ordinary it has become utterly asymptomatic? Challenging the prevailing literary critical inclination toward what makes texts exceptional or distinctive, Genre and White Supremacy in the Postemancipation United States underscores the urgent importance of genre for tracking conventionality as it enters into, constitutes, and reproduces ordinary life. 0In the wake of emancipation's failed promise, two developments unfolded: white supremacy amassed new mechanisms and procedures for reproducing racial hierarchy; and black freedom developed new practices for collective expression and experimentation. This new racial ordinary came into being through new literary and cultural genres-including campus novels, the Ladies' Home Journal, Civil War elegies, and gospel sermons. Through the postemancipation interplay between aesthetic0conventions and social norms, genre became a major influence in how Americans understood their social and political affiliations, their citizenship, and their race.0Travis M. Foster traces this thick history through four decades following the Civil War, equipping us to understand ordinary practices of resistance more fully and to resist ordinary procedures of subjugation more effectively. In the process, he provides a model for how the study of popular genre can reinvigorate our methods for historicizing the everyday |

Even as Black Lives Matter thinkers underscore white supremacy’s manifestation in the unremark able and all-too-often unnoticed unfolding of ordinary life, literary critical methods remain hindered by longstanding biases toward unconventional texts, visionary writers, and noncon forming ideas. The result is that we’re left without adequate methods, vocabularies, and archives for apprehending white supremacy’s urgent ordinariness. In Genre and White Supremacy in the Postemancipation United States, Travis M. Foster suggests that genre provides the best route out of this impasse. Through rigorous new interpretations of four popular literary and cultural genres—campus novels, the Ladies’ Home Journal, Civil War elegies, and gospel sermons—the volume unpacks how conventionality played a crucial role in both reconstituting and resisting taken-for-granted operations of white supremacy and antiblackness in the wake of emancipation. Arguing that genre provides a scale and a method for rendering ordinariness newly available to close analysis, the book reveals the specific conventions and strategies through which antiblack ness constitutes white social worlds far removed from the color line, while also surveying white ness’s remarkable capacity to adapt itself to new conditions and incorporate internal differences. Simultaneously, using genre analysis to trace forms of black resistance that manifest within the radical collectivity of black social worlds, rather than through more familiar liberal politics of dissent, the volume highlights practices of freedom and community that
refuse the very political conditions proffered by white supremacist logic. The result is an original and important new account of popular literature s role in refashioning and resisting white supremacy in an emergent postemancipation climate.
