Beschreibung:
Female Subjectivity in African American Women s Narratives of Enslavement is a new and innovative study of black women s transformation, which focuses on black women writers who support the notion of separate location for a changed female consciousness. This book offers the concept of the "Transient Woman" as a new paradigm and feminist vision for analyzing female subjectivity and consciousness.
INTERDISCIPLINARY: The book is useful for studies in Gender and Women Studies, African American Literature, and African American StudiesORIGINAL: Myles introduces the concept of the "Transient Woman," which is both original and clearly related to theories of racial and gender experiences and consciousness by earlier scholarsHYBRID: This work uniquely blends oral history with past scholarship, while also introducing a new conceptual framework that will be useful to future theories of gender, race, subjectivity, and consciousness
