Tropes ranging from Houston Baker's "bluesman," to Henry Louis Gates' "signifyin'" to Geneva Smitherman's "talkin' and testifyin'" to bell hooks' "talking back" to Cheryl Wall's "worrying the line" all affirm the power of sonance and sound in the African American literary tradition. The collection of essays in Speaking in Tongues and Dancing Diaspora contributes to this tradition by theorizing the preeminence of voice and narration (and the consequences of their absence) in the literary and cultural performances of black women. Looking to work by such prominent black female authors as Alice Walker, Sherley Anne Williams, Toni Morrison, Zora Neal Hurston, among many others, Mae G. Henderson provides a deeply felt reflection on race and gender and their effects within the discourse of speaker and listener.

Recenzijos

Mae Henderson's always luminous, often foundational work is a gift to all who study women's writing and African American literature. Fusing beautiful theorizing with insightful close readings, Henderson illuminates Josephine Baker's performances and hip-hop videos as brilliantly as she does the fictions of Hurston, Morrison, and Walker. * Cheryl A. Wall, author of Worrying the Line: Black Women Writers, Lineage, and Literary Tradition * Speaking in Tongues is an important volume as a deeper literary-historical view into African-American women's writing * T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting, Cultural Sociology *
