To answer this question, Stacie Selmon McCormick charts the historical turn toward slavery in black drama that began in the last quarter of the twentieth century. This movement, spearheaded by August Wilson and Suzan-Lori Parks, has been largely under-theorized, yet it participates in and advances the neo-slave narrative genre--with contemporary black dramas enhancing the neo-slave narrative's capacity to represent the visual, corporal, and affective dimensions of the black body and slavery as an institution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e McCormick traces the innovative ways that artists render slavery for present-day audiences. The dramas assembled in this book approach slavery from myriad perspectives--afrofuturist, feminist, and queer--in order to produce new imaginaries that offer more complex depictions of black experience. Through subverting notions of time, race, gender, and familiar histories of slavery themselves, the dramas under discussion produce \u003ci\u003eperformances of fugitivity\u003c\/i\u003e--subversive, radical, and experimental performances of black artistic and political freedom at the site of slavery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStacie Selmon McCormick is Assistant Professor of English at Texas Christian University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 09, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704118866227,"sku":"9780814255445","price":66.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/KhtpCYV0cO9780814255445.webp?v=1763348244","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/staging-black-fugitivity-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
