Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the term \"prophetic remembrance\" to articulate the expression of a constituent faith in the performative capacity of language, Erica Still shows how black subjectivity is born of and interprets cultural trauma. She brings together African American neo-slave narratives and Black South African postapartheid narratives to reveal the processes by which black subjectivity accounts for its traumatic origins, names the therapeutic work of the present, and inscribes the possibility of the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author draws on trauma studies, black theology, and literary criticism as she considers how writers such as Toni Morrison, Charles Johnson, John Edgar Wideman, David Bradley, Sindiwe Magona, K. Sello Duiker, and Zakes Mda explore the possibilities for rehearsing a traumatic past without being overcome by it. Although both African American and South African literary studies have addressed questions of memory, narrative, and trauma, little comparative work has been done. Prophetic Remembrance offers this comparative focus in reading these literatures together to address the question of what it means to remember and to recover from racial oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n        About the Author   \u003cp\u003eErica Still is Assistant Professor of English at Wake Forest University.\u003c\/p\u003e      ","brand":"Erica Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070404710634,"sku":"9780813936550","price":34.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/61dQicAjBaL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781260551","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/prophetic-remembrance-black-subjectivity-in-african-american-and-south-african-trauma-narratives","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
