Description

Inquiries into the meaning and force of race in American culture have largely focused on questions of identity and difference What does it mean to have a racial identity? What constitutes racial difference? Such questions assume the basic principle of racial division, which todays seems to be becoming an increasingly bitter and seemingly irreparable chasm between black and white. This book confronts this contemporary problem by shifting the focus of analysis from understanding differences to analyzing division. It provides a historical context for the recent resurgence of racial division by tracing the path of the color line as it appears in the narrative writings of African-Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In readings of slave narratives, passing novels, and the writings of Charles Chesnutt and Zora Neale Hurston, the author asks: What is the work of division? How does division work?
