An enriching, interpretive mode that focuses on the transnational connections between subjects of African descent as the central pole for investigation. This journey of radical new process invites readers to see creations by artists of African descent as legible within the context of African diasporic historical and cultural debates.
”In its critique of Western rationality, Enlightenment categories, and hierarchical orderings, this book makes a significant contribution. Chancy uses race and gender theory in smart and provocative ways. Her elucidation of difficult texts and contexts is clear and convincing. The research is well presented, the arguments well developed, and the conclusions intellectually satisfying.”—Fran+ºoise Lionnet, author of Writing Women and Critical Dialogues: Subjectivity, Gender, and Irony
