Description

This book offers a new critique of contemporary African-American fiction and its intersections with and critiques of the Gothic genre.

Wester reveals the myriad ways writers manipulate the genre to critique the gothic's traditional racial ideologies and the mechanisms that were appropriated and re-articulated as a useful vehicle for the enunciation of the peculiar terrors and complexities of black existence in America.
