Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction, Hardcover/Kathy Glass

Exploring literary possibilities, Politics and Affect reads black women's texts as richly creative documents saturated with sociopolitical value. Interested in how African American women writers from the nineteenth century to the present have mined the politics of affect and emotion to document love, shame, and suffering in environments shaped by race, Kathy Glass examines existential blackness and affective responses to social injustice. About the Author: Kathy Glass is associate professor of English at Duquesne University.
