More Details

Summary:

"Monstrous Work and Radical Satisfaction offers new and insightful readings of African American women's writings in the 1930s-1950s, illustrating these writers' radical resistance to the false and incomplete promise of liberal racial integration. Eve Dunbar demonstrates how they offer new blueprints for Black life by creating narrative models for radical satisfaction: Black women's completeness, joy, and happiness outside the bounds of normative racial inclusion"-- [Provided by publisher]
