The Affirmative Discomforts of Black Female Authorship: Rethinking Triple Consci

Description: The Affirmative Discomforts of Black Female Authorship by Nahum N. Welang In The Affirmative Discomforts of Black Female Authorship, the author examines how three popular black female authors (Roxane Gay, Beyoncé and Issa Rae) simultaneously complement and complicate hegemonic notions of race, identity and gender in contemporary American culture. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Ubiquitous triple consciousness frameworks address the limitations of W.E.B Du Bois seminal double consciousness concept by emphasizing a third gendered lens, a definite consciousness that legitimizes the rich complexities of the black American female experience.In The Affirmative Discomforts of Black Female Authorship: Rethinking Triple Consciousness in Contemporary American Culture, the author rethinks this methodology by examining an interesting assemblage of contemporary black female authors (Roxane Gay, Beyoncé and Issa Rae) across four disciplines (history, literature, music and television) whose contemporary multimedia works are engaging with a third lens the author conceptualizes as rupture.This rupture, a simultaneous embrace and rejection of racial and gendered experiences that are affirmative but also contradictory, unsettling and ultimately unresolved, problematizes hegemonic notions of identity and boldly moves towards a potential shift, a shift on the cusp of profound rethinking and reimagination. Author Biography Nahum N. Welang is assistant professor in English Language-Literature at the University of Stavanger (Norway).
