The book explores slavery in contemporary West African and African-American literature by looking at the politics of history and memory. It interrogates notions of History and memory by considering the possibility that shared traumas, such as West African and African-American experiences of slavery, can be remembered and historicised differently, according to critical factors such as socio-economic realities, cultural beliefs and familial traditions. At the heart of the book are compelling and new readings of slavery in six literary narratives that draws on cultural philosophies, musicology and linguistics to demonstrate diverse and unusual ways that Black writers in West Africa and North America write about slavery in literature" 1900-2099 fast Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 gnd Sklaverei (Motiv) (DE-588)4204853-9 gnd West African literature (English) 20th century History and criticism West African literature (English) 21st century History and criticism American literature African American authors History and criticism American literature 20th century History and criticism American literature 21st century History and criticism Slavery in literature American literature fast American literature African American authors fast Slavery in literature fast West African literature (English) fast USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 gnd Criticism, interpretation, etc fast BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED 02.09.2020 nebis DS IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH AOe 46027 NELA1002010 IDSBB 100 1- Owusu Portia Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Routledge research in American literature and culture IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 A100 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007201034/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 588039721
