More About the Author
Product Description
Review
."..intriguing....Tate's study raises crucial questions about the way African American subjectivity is addressed within literary studies....she inspires a reevaluation of how texts produce that black subjectivity."--Modernism/Modernity
"Tate reads these somewhat obscure black novels in ways that they have never been read before, applying theoretical principles as effectively as anyone else has ever done. Insights into the psyches of Hurston, Larsen, Wright and others are absolutely invaluable."--James Robert Saunders, Purdue University
Product Description
Although psychoanalytic theory is one of the most important and influential tools in contemporary literary criticism, to date it has had very little impact on the study of African-American literature and culture. Now, Claudia Tate argues that psychoanalytic paradigms can produce rich readings of African-American desire, alienation, and subjectivity. Tate summarizes the work of such figures as Freud and Lacan, with references to their contemporary literary proponents, and examines a series of texts by Emma Kelly, W.E.B. DuBois, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, and Nella Larsen. This provocative new book will serve as an introduction to psychoanalytic theory and its application for African-American literature and culture. Tate strikes unchartered territory, and her work will be of great interest to scholars and students in African-American studies.
