Herman Beavers closely examines politics of scale and contentious politics in order to discern Morrison's larger intent of revealing the deep structure of power relations in black communities that will enable them to fashion counterhegemonic projects. The volume explores how Morrison stages her ruminations on the political imaginary in neighborhoods or small towns; rooms, houses or streets. Beavers argues that these spatial and domestic geographies are sites where the management of traumatic injury is integral to establishing a sense of place, proposing these "tight spaces" as sites where narratives are produced and contested; sites of inscription and erasure, utterance and silence. 001358834 650_0 $$aLiterature. 001358834 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans. 001358834 650_0 $$aLiterature, Modern$$y20th century. 001358834 650_0 $$aAmerica$$xLiteratures. 001358834 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358834 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319659985 001358834 830_0 $$aGeocriticism and spatial literary studies. 001358834 852__ $$bebk 001358834 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-65999-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358834 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358834$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358834 980__ $$aBIB 001358834 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358834 982__ $$aEbook 001358834 983__ $$aOnline 001358834 994__ $$a92$$bISE
