Titre : Ghosts Of Slavery: A Literary Archaeology of Black Women’s Lives Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jenny Sharpe, Auteur Editeur : University of Minnesota Press, Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 187 p. Format : 13x20 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8166-3723-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : LITERATURE, archaeology, black women's lives... Résumé : n Ghosts of Slavery, Sharpe introduces a wider range of everyday practices by examining the lives of three distinctive Caribbean women: a maroon leader, a mulatto concubine, and a fugitive slave. Through them she explains how the diasporic experience of slavery enabled black women to claim an authority that they didn't possess in Africa; how concubines empowered themselves through their mimicry of white women; and how less-privileged slave women manipulated situations that they were powerless to change. Finding the highly mediated portrayal of slave women in the historical records limited and sometimes misleading, Sharpe turns to unconventional sources for investigating these women's lives. In this fascinating and historically rich account, she calls for new strategies of reading that question traditional narratives of history, and she finds alternative ways to integrate oral storytelling, slave songs, travel writing, court documents, proslavery literature, and contemporary literature into black history.
Ultimately, this layered approach not only produces a more complex picture of the slave women's agency than conventional readings, it encourages a more nuanced understanding of the roles of slaves in the history of slavery.En ligne : https://s.s-bol.com/imgbase0/imagebase3/extralarge/FC/0/9/4/0/1001004001750490.j [...] Ghosts Of Slavery: A Literary Archaeology of Black Women’s Lives [texte imprimé] / Jenny Sharpe, Auteur . - University of Minnesota Press,, 2002 . - 187 p. ; 13x20 cm.
