Description

"The Myth of Aunt Jemima" looks at the way three centuries of white women writers have tackled the subject of race in both Britain and America. Diane Roberts challenges the widely-held belief that white women writers have simply acquiesed in dominant cultural inscriptions of race. "The Myth of Aunt Jemima" shows how "the mythic spheres of race, of the separation of black and white into low and high, other and originary, tainted and pure, remain to trouble a society struggling still to free itself from debilitating racial representations". Featuring a powerful series of textual readings, "The Myth of Aunt Jemima" pushes at the boundaries of thought around the issues of race and gender. The author has also written "Faulkner and Southern Womanhood".
