《种族、肤色和归属回忆录》重新审视了回忆录中种族和身份的复杂对话，考察了三代混血非裔美国人在自传中的经历。本书探讨了从詹姆斯·麦克布莱德和雪莉·泰勒·海兹利普到巴拉克·奥巴马、托伊·德里科特、娜塔莎·特雷斯韦、丽贝卡·沃克和艾米莉·拉博托的作家，探讨了这些回忆录作者驳斥有关种族和简单归属理解的术语的方式，将他们有争议的身体位置作为叙事、探索和抗议的场所。本书按时间顺序编排，将让读者深入了解从吉姆·克劳美国到民权时期的回忆录，最后是那些关于后灵魂（以及后爱v·弗吉尼亚）一代的回忆录。关于种族、肤色和归属的回忆录质疑了围绕身份建构的这些困难空间，鼓励围绕混血个体的可见性和后代的经历展开新的对话。通过档案和个人证词，这本书提供了一个模型，将美国文化中的色彩理论和个人描述交织在一起，以鼓励在今天的对话中超越学科界限的讨论。
Memoirs of Race, Color, and Belonging
Series: Routledge Auto/Biography Studies
Memoirs of Race, Color, and Belonging provides a fresh look at the complex dialogue of race and identity in memoir, examining three generations of biracial African Americans’ experiences in their autobiographies. Exploring writers from James McBride and Shirlee Taylor Haizlip to Barack Obama, Toi Dericotte, Natasha Trethway, Rebecca Walker, and Emily Raboteau, this volume explores the ways in which these memoirists refute terms regarding race and simple understandings of belonging, using their contested embodied positions as sites for narration, quest, and protest. Organized chronologically, this volume will provide readers insight into memoirs from Jim Crow America to the Civil Rights period and finally those considering the post-soul (and post-Loving v. Virginia) generation. Memoirs of Race, Color, and Belonging interrogates these difficult spaces surrounding identity construction, encouraging new conversations surrounding visibility of mixed-race individuals and experiences for future generations. Through archives and personal testimony, this book provides a model for interweaving theoretical and personal accounts of color in American culture to encourage discussions that transgress disciplinary boundaries in the today’s dialogue.
