Beschreibung

"Inhabitants of the Deep undertakes a black ecocritical study of the "deep" in African Diaspora life and literature, illuminating the enduring relationship between Blackness and the oceanic. Investigating Black literary tradition's origins in encounters with the Middle Passage, Jonathan Howard demonstrates how the sustained focus on social death can obscure other understandings of Black ecological life stirring in the deep. Howard uses examples from across literature and history, exploring destabilizing interactions with the ocean through readings of works by authors from Equiano to August Wilson. Rethinking afropessimism through a blue humanities lens, this book makes us think differently about landedness and the deep in what will be a lasting contribution to Black thought, offering a path to a better relation to the planet"--
