Close Kin and Distant Relatives: The Paradox of Respectability in Black Women's Literature - American Literatures Initiative
Susana M. Morris
Looking at the ways in which contemporary African American and black Caribbean women writers conceptualize the black family, Susana Morris finds a discernible tradition that challenges the politics of respectability by arguing that it obfuscates the problematic nature of conventional understandings of family and has damaging effects as a survival strategy for blacks.
