Covering a broad range of narrative forms from short stories and novels like The Known World to films like 12 Years a Slave and the music of Missy Elliott, Dana Renee Horton engages with post-neo-slave narratives, a genre she defines as literary and visual texts that mesh conventions of postmodernity with the neo-slave narrative. Focusing on the characterization of black women in these texts, Horton argues that they are portrayed as commodities who commodify slaves, a fluid and complex characterization that is a foundational characteristic of postmodern identity and emphasizes how postmodern identity restructures the conception of slave-owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 – The Female Slaveholder Narrative: Challenging the Plantation Mistress Trope in Property and The Wedding Gift\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 – “Sometimes, One Must Become a Master to Avoid Becoming a Slave”: Cane River, The Known World, and The Postmodern Black Plantation Mistress\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 – “You will sell the negress!”:Revising Representations of Women in Django Unchained and 12 Years a Slave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 – “The Rap Purist”: The Plantation Mistress in Hip Hop Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion – Towards a Black Feminist Counternarrative \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042641477975,"sku":"9781793619136","price":65.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793619136.jpg?v=1750954973","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-genre-and-race-in-post-neo-slave-narratives-9781793619136","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
