Covering a broad range of narrative forms ranging from novels like \u003ci\u003eThe Known World\u003c\/i\u003e to films like \u003ci\u003e12 Years a Slave\u003c\/i\u003e 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 enslaved people, a fluid and complex characterization that is a foundational aspect of postmodern identity and emphasizes how postmodern identity restructures the conception of slave-owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042641379671,"sku":"9781793619150","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793619150.jpg?v=1750954974","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-genre-and-race-in-postneoslave-narratives-9781793619150","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
