Belabored Professions : Narratives Of African American Working Womanhood

Attribution
Xiomara Santamarina
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
According to nineteenth-century racial uplift ideology, African American women served their race best as reformers and activists, or as “doers of the word.” As Santamarina demonstrates, these texts offer modern readers new perspectives on the emergence of the vital African American autobiographical tradition, dramatizing the degree to which black working women participated in and shaped American rhetorics of labor, race, and femininity.

Judylyn S. Ryan

Description
Given the ways in which spirituality functions in the work of such Black women writers and filmmakers as Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, Maya Angelou, Julie Dash, and Euzhan Palcy, Judylyn Ryan proposes in this challenging new study that what these women embrace in their narrative construction and characterization is the role and responsibility of the priestess, bearing and distributing “life-force” to sustain the community of people who read and view their work.

Worrying The Line : Black Women Writers, Lineage, And Literary Tradition

Attribution
Cheryl A. Wall
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2005

- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Wall applies this term to fiction and nonfiction writing by African American women in the twentieth century, demonstrating how these writers bring about similar changes in African American and American literary traditions. Examining the works of Lucille Clifton, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, and Alice Walker, Wall highlights ways in which these authors construct family genealogies, filling in the gaps with dreams, rituals, music, or images that forge a connection to family lost through slavery.

Attribution
Jacqueline Bacon
Publication Details
Book, University of South Carolina Press, 2002
Description
Offering an alternative account of the abolitionist movement, The Humblest May Stand Forth analyzes the rhetoric of African Americans and white females involved in the crusade against slavery and examines the particular strategies they chose to advocate despite their positions at the periphery of the movement.
