Abstract:
Abstract I argue for a reconceptualization of undocumentedness, the experience of being undocumented, from an experience that is simply a result of the modern immigration regime to an experience that is a result of interlocking systems of oppression and resistance to them that has shaped Blackness and the vision for black liberation. I make this argument by defining and tracing the trope of the papers—the use of legal and extralegal documents to examine and document African Americans’ and other people of African descent’s relationship to the nation-state—in the slave narrative and the neo-slave narrative. I offer a close readings of slave narratives, including Sojourner Truth’s The Narrative of Sojourner Truth (1850) and Harriet Jacobs’ Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself, and neo-slave narratives, including Toni Morrison’s A Mercy (2008) and Gayl Jones’s Mosquito (1999), to illustrate the significance of the undocumented immigrant in African American literature and demonstrate that writers of African American literature have been thinking intensely about undocumentedness, although not in the way undocumentedness is typically understood.

Abstract:
Abstract As histories of experimentation on the enslaved receive scholarly attention, so too are neo-slave narratives representing and commenting on this aspect of enslavement, in both their content and their form. This article examines Thylias Moss’s genre-troubling Slave Moth: A Narrative in Verse (2004), a neo-slave text that depicts an enslaved woman named Varl treated as an object of psychological experimentation. Varl develops a strong subjectivity through becoming a subject performing experiments: aesthetic experiments in how she chooses to represent her narrative in stitched cloths. The subtly experimental poetic devices through which Moss crafts this representation highlight that this protagonist possesses an alternate, generative epistemology that differs meaningfully from her master’s scientific worldview and thereby enables fugitive, temporary agency and freedom. By analyzing Slave Moth, I argue that the ethically problematic epistemology that generated experiments on the enslaved has certainly not dissipated and that it indirectly undergirds lyric theory’s failure to engage form in texts by nonwhite poets. Through contrasting close attention to formal devices by which Moss undermines teleological narrative, this essay postulates that “lyric time” enables fleeting, yet nevertheless generative, subversions of the formal expectations readers impose on texts representing enslavement. Reading Slave Moth through such a lens suggests potential middle-ground formal alternatives to wholly rejecting either narrative or lyric as genres and to thereby asymptotically approaching adequate representation of enslavement.

Abstract:
In this article we examine Gloria Naylor’s novel Linden Hills, articulating the concepts of the neoarchive and the neo-slave narrative with the notion of archive as proposed by Derrida (2001) and developed by other authors (Osborne,1999; Bradley,1999; Johnson, 2014) with whom we seek to dialogue in this space. Linden Hills’s counterdiscursive narrative revisits the past by excavating the palimpsest of forgotten memories, once unidentified or not compiled, thus establishing its relationship to the neo-slave narrative. We argue that the link between the neo-slave narrative and the archive is both concrete and productive, given that it foregrounds non-sanctioned archives as counternarratives to the historical archive (mainly, but not exclusively, that of slavery), through the articulation of history and both personal and collective memory – calling to question, in this way, colonizing documented history and its official guardians.

Abstract:
This paper examines how Manu Herbstein employs his fictionalised neo-slave narrative entitled Ama, a Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade to address the issue of sexual violence against women and to foreground the trans-Atlantic rape identities of victims and victimisers in relation to race, gender, class and religion. An appraisal of Herbstein's representations within the framework of postcolonial theory reveals how Herbstein deviates from the stereotypical norm of narrating the rape of female captives and slaves during the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade by creating graphic rape images in his narration. This study therefore shows that a postcolonial reading of Herbstein's novel addresses the representations of rape and male sexual aggression in literary discourse and contributes to the arguments on sexual violence against women from the past to the present.

Abstract:
Il Regno Unito si presenta oggi come una realtà multiculturale in cui la diversità è apparentemente più tollerata che in passato; tuttavia, quest’ultima è ancora fortemente temuta e discriminata. Purtroppo, le tensioni e le contraddizioni che il paese presenta oggi, sono l’eredità del passato coloniale e della schiavitù transatlantica: la schiavitù rappresenta, infatti, un fenomeno centrale nella storia inglese, eppure essa sembra essere stata rimossa dalla memoria collettiva. Tale amnesia storica è stata denunciata da scrittori e storici contemporanei quali Andrea Levy, James Walvin, Herbert S. Klein, William D. Phillips e Caryl Phillips tra gli altri. Infatti, negli ultimi decenni, artisti e accademici hanno mostrato un crescente interesse nei confronti della schiavitù, come testimonia la pubblicazione di opere letterarie incentrate su tale tematica. Con l’obiettivo di prendere parte a questo nuovo dibattito e di contribuire alla rivalutazione dell’importanza storica della schiavitù, la mia tesi riflette sulla schiavitù transatlantica attraverso l’analisi di opere letterarie. In particolare, la tesi segue l’evoluzione del genere letterario delle Slave Narratives per dimostrare che questo genere letterario, che è stato a lungo considerato come esclusivamente afroamericano, ha invece un ruolo fondamentale nel contesto inglese. Inizialmente il genere letterario era utilizzato per sostenere la campagna abolizionista, infatti diffondeva importanti informazioni sulla schiavitù e, presentando la prospettiva degli schiavi, li rendeva più umani agli occhi della popolazione bianca e creava empatia nei loro confronti. Oggi, l’evoluzione di questo genere è usata per ristabilire il valore storico delle prime Slave Narratives e per creare connessioni ideali tra la schiavitù e le attuali forme di discriminazione razziale. La tesi adotta la prospettiva teorica fornita dai Trauma Studies, infatti, la schiavitù viene concepita come trauma individuale e collettivo che ha ancora necessità di essere affrontato e superato: le rappresentazioni artistiche della schiavitù possono essere lette come un metodo per affrontare tale trauma e ricontestualizzarlo nella memoria storica; così le rappresentazioni letterarie inglese della schiavitù possono essere analizzate come tentativi di superare il trauma provocato dalla schiavitù. Queste rappresentazioni non sono interessanti solamente a livello letterario, quindi, la mia tesi mira a sottolineare l’importanza delle Slave Narratives e delle Neo-Slave Narratives nel contesto della riflessione contemporanea sul razzismo e sull’eredità dell’imperialismo. Concludendo, la mia tesi evidenzia che il Regno Unito che conosciamo oggi è una conseguenza del periodo coloniale e del coinvolgimento nella tratta degli schiavi e che la situazione attuale richiede una riflessione sul passato. Attraverso l’analisi letteraria delle Slave Narratives e delle evoluzioni contemporanee, la tesi propone nuove prospettive sulla rappresentazione della schiavitù nel contesto britannico. Inoltre, attraverso l’analisi delle Neo-Slave Narratives contemporanee, la tesi rivela l’intento degli autori di condannare il pregiudizio razziale. Le conseguenze dell’eredità del periodo coloniale sono più che mai evidenti e la popolazione nera chiede con forza di trovare posto nella storia, come dimostra il movimento Black Lives Matter. In definitiva, la tesi dimostra che la letteratura e l’arte possono essere utili per ricordare il passato e affrontare il trauma della schiavitù.
Britain appears today as a multicultural nation, however, racial diversity, apparently more tolerated than in the past, is still problematic and feared; indeed, contemporary racial tensions and contradictions are the living legacy of the country’s colonial past and involvement with slavery. Clearly, slavery played a key role in British history, and yet it seems to have been largely forgotten by the collective British memory; the British amnesia is indicted by both writers and historians such as Andrea Levy, James Walvin, Herbert S. Klein, William D. Phillips and Caryl Phillips. However, this situation is slowly changing: recently scholars’ and artists’ interest in slavery has grown, as testified by the publication of literary works dealing with the subject of slavery. By reflecting on the heritage of Transatlantic Slavery, my dissertation aims to participate in the recent academic debate over slavery and in the process of reevaluation of slavery’s legacies in the contemporary period. My dissertation analyzes the literary representations of slavery, following the evolutions of the literary genre of the Slave Narrative, and my aim is to demonstrate that this literary genre, which has long been considered as an exclusively African American genre, has played a key role for Britain. This literary genre was initially used to support the abolitionist campaign by raising awareness about slavery and creating empathy towards the slaves; however, it is now used to both reestablish the historical value of the early Slave Narratives, and to metaphorically create connections between Transatlantic Slavery and the present days racial discriminations. My dissertation follows the perspective provided by the Trauma Studies, indeed, I conceive Transatlantic Slavery as both individual and collective trauma, for both the white and the black population, this trauma still needs to be tackled: artistic representations of slavery can be considered as a way to bring it to light, and find slavery’s place in human history and memory; thus, the literary representations of slavery produced in in Britain can be read as attempts to overcome the trauma of slavery. Not only the creation of literary representations of collective traumas such as the Slave Narrative, and its evolution are interesting on a literary level, but they are also considered to have the same therapeutic function as speaking about traumatic events, thus, my dissertation aims to highlight the Slave and Neo-Slave Narratives importance in the context of contemporary reflections on racism and on the legacy of imperialism. To conclude, by means of tracing back Britain’s connections with slavery, my dissertation shows that contemporary Britain has been shaped by the slave trade and its contemporary situation is urging to remember this past and reflect on it. Through the literary analysis of both British Slave and Neo-Slave Narratives the dissertation adds new perspectives on the representation of slavery in the Britain. Moreover, through the analysis of contemporary Neo-Slave Narratives, this dissertation reveals the contemporary authors’ aim to condemn the racial prejudice and structural inequalities which originates in the colonial period and is still present. The consequences of this amnesia are more than ever visible, and the black world population is asking for their repositioning in history, the recent movement Black Lives Matter is an example of that. My dissertation ultimately shows that literature and art can represent a way to remember the past, deal with the trauma of slavery, and reposition the black population in Britain.

Abstract:
The classic slave narrative recounted a fugitive slave’s personal story condemning slavery and hence working towards abolition. The neo-slave narrative underlines the slave’s historical legacy by unveiling the past through foregrounding African Atlantic experiences in an attempt to create a critical historiography of the Black Atlantic. The neo-slave narrative is a genre that emerged following World War II and presents us with a dialogue combining the history of 1970 - 2000. In this thesis I seek to explore how the contemporary counter-part of the classic slave narrative draws, reflects or diverges from the general conventions of its predecessor. I argue that by scrutinizing our notion of truth, the neo-slave narrative remains a relevant, important witness to the history of slavery as well as to today’s still racialized society. The historiographic metafiction of the neo-slave narrative rewrites history with the goal of digesting the past and ultimately leading to future reconciliation.

Abstract:
Toni Morrison chose to revisit the neo-slave narrative genre twenty-five years after the publication of Beloved with A Mercy in 2008. With these two texts, Morrison offers her readers one story that shows the descent into slavery and one that shows progression towards freedom. The purpose of this thesis is to place Morrison’s two neo-slave narratives, Beloved and A Mercy, next to one another in order to better understand the journey to freedom through self-love. This work examines the concept of self-love and the necessary components—maternal nurturance, ancestral connection, and communal interaction—that must come together to help Morrison’s characters learn to love and see themselves as their “own best thing.” The repercussions that self-love’s absence has for both individual characters and their larger communities is also discussed and illustrated by the struggles of Florens in A Mercy and Sethe in Beloved.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the unhomely nature of the slave system as experienced by fugitive and captive slaves within slave and neo-slave narratives. The purpose of this project is to broaden the discourse of migration narratives set during the antebellum period. I argue that the unhomely manifests through corporeal, psychological, historical, and geographical descriptions found within each narrative and it is through these manifestations that a broader discourse of identity can be generated. I turn to four slave and neo-slave narratives for this dissertation: Solomon Northup’s Twelve Years a Slave (1853), Frederick Douglass’s My Bondage and My Freedom (1855), Octavia Butler’s Kindred (1979), and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987).

Abstract:
In this paper, Kait Spong examines alternative practices of mothering that are strategic nature, heavily analyzing Patricia Hill Collins’ concepts of “othermothering” and “preservative love” as applied to Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel, Beloved and Harriet Jacob’s 1861 slave narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Using literary analysis as a vehicle, Spong then applies these West African notions of motherhood to a modern context by evaluating contemporary social movements such as Black Lives Matter where black mothers have played a prominent role in making public statements against systemic issues such as police brutality, heightened surveillance, and the prison industrial complex.

Full text
Abstract:
"(Un)Conventional Coupling" initiates a more expansive critical conversation on the contemporary neo-slave narrative. The dissertation's central argument is that authors of neo-slave narratives rely on the politicized theme of interracial coupling to both reimagine history and explore the possibility of social transformation. to establish a framework for my particular focus on interracial intimacy, this study extends the boundaries of the genre by adopting Paul Gilroy's theory of the black Atlantic. This theoretical paradigm serves as a provisional framework for both accommodating and analyzing the complexity of authorship, nationality, and influence within this large body of work.;This dissertation interprets neo-slave narratives' preoccupation with interracial sex and intimacy as a compelling reason to situate the critical analysis of the genre within a more expansive context. The prevalence of discourses and representations of interracial desire, sexuality, and intimacy within the genre reveals a preoccupation with cross-cultural connection. Additionally, authors of neo-slave narratives rely on black-white coupling to explore the concepts and realities of "race." Indeed, interracial intimacy provides an effective mechanism for this literature to invigorate a dialogue about "race" and why it still matters in the twenty-first century.;Adopting the term (un)conventional coupling to destabilize racialized ideologies of sexuality and desire, this project reads black-white coupling as a trope that represents a complex and conflicted sense of transracial intimacy in these novels. This study analyzes the representation of transracial intimacy in three different novels: Sherley Anne Williams' Dessa Rose, David Bradley's The Chaneysville Incident, and Valerie Martin's Property. Each chapter demonstrates the different ways in which these authors rely on the trope of black-white coupling to construct the double-edged critique of black Atlantic political culture. First, this trope exposes a hidden history in order to reveal a more comprehensive and nuanced version of slavery and its myriad legacies. Secondly, representations of interracial intimacy allow authors to posit utopian possibilities out of relations of difference by creating a space for transformative acts of social reinvention.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the evolution of three types of improvisation: a mode of literary composition, a method through which to advocate social change, and a theoretical practice. The theory that attempts to account for such improvisational strategies both simulates the material activity of improvisation and identifies the presence of improvisation itself as indicative of the first stage in an emerging literary genre. The chapter demonstrates the interrelated operations of these strategies through applied analyses of two texts, Mark Z. Danielewski’s experimental haunted-house novel House of Leaves (2000) and Edward P. Jones’s neo-slave narrative The Known World (2003). The argument locates improvisatory techniques in these two novels; examines the ways in which they diverge from preexisting theoretical trends in the fields of improvisation studies, postmodernist fiction, and the neo-slave narrative; and identifies these new improvisatory modes as signs of hitherto uncategorized literary forms.

Abstract:
This introduction defines neo-passing by contextualizing the term not only in relation to classic passing narratives and scholarship on passing but also in relation to broad notions of performance, pretending, and identifying. The editors also connect their effort to delineate a genre of neo-passing narratives to recent scholarly efforts to define neo-slave narratives and neo-segregation narratives. Like those genres, neo-passing narratives mediate between historical and contemporary notions of racial and intersectional injustice. Using several recent case studies, the introduction explores the ways in which neo-passing narratives speak directly to the contradictions within contemporary debates about colorblindness and color-consciousness, or what one contributor calls the debate between postracialism and most-racialism. Finally, the introduction briefly describes each essay in the volume, emphasizing its engagement in a vigorous debate about the specific ways in which neo-passing narratives alternatively shore up, deconstruct, or complicate our understanding of performance and identity production after Jim Crow.
