The book demonstrates the implications of Afro-futurist literary criticism for Black Atlantic literary and critical theory, investigating issues of hybridity, border crossing, temporality, and historical recuperation. Covering a wide range of writers - including Octavia Butler, Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson, Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward and Beyonc  - Maxine Lavon Montgomery shows how Black women artists attempt to recover a raced, gendered heritage in framing an evolving social order existing as a part of, yet separate and distinct from, the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Montgomery, Maxine Lavon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350124509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192","brand":"Maxine Lavon Montgomery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39327311102027,"sku":"9781350124509","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_7807a705-4e78-4310-a130-1f072ceea3e2.jpg?v=1618940435","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/the-postapocalyptic-black-female-imagination-9781350124509","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
