For those scholars for whom questions of race, ethnicity, and empire are central, U.S. studies in the 1990s has gained immensely from dialogue with the emergent field called "postcolonial studies," which provided comparative historical analyses of these issues from global or transnational perspectives.

Speaking in Tongues and Dancing Diaspora

0.0 (0)

Deploying the trope of 'speaking in tongues' to theorise the multivocality of black women's writing, based on the reconstruction of a fundamentally spiritual practice as critical concept, Mae G. Henderson also enlists a second trope, 'dancing diaspora', to theorise the narrativity of black women's dance, based on the notions of 'performing testimony' and 'critical witnessing'. Together, these tropes are meant to signify a tradition of black women writing and performing, a tradition privileging the pre-eminence of voice and narration, along with the roles of listening and witnessing.
