The Black Middle Ages : Race and the Construction of the Middle Ages Hardback
by Matthew X. Vernon
Part of the The New Middle Ages series
Hardback
Description
The Black Middle Ages examines the influence of medieval studies on African-American thought.
Matthew X. Vernon focuses on nineteenth century uses of medieval texts to structure racial identity, but also considers the flexibility of medieval narratives more broadly in the medieval period, twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
This book engages disparate discourses to reassess African-American positionalities in time and space.
Utilizing a transhistorical framework, Vernon reflects on medieval studies as a discipline built upon a contended set of ideologies and acts of imaginative appropriation visible within source texts and their later mobilizations.
