| Abstract |
"Millennial Style examines recent Black experiments in writing and the visual arts that start from a place of trauma. Aliyyah Abdur-Rahman's work underscores that all the millennial attempts-artistic and political-to gain full human citizenship have failed to change the ongoing situation and danger of Black lives. Where earlier Black writers might have employed a more realist mode to make a case for justice, the Black avant-garde work of today reaches for more experimental ways to convey the horrors of the changing same. The chapters outline four modes that have been widely employed: Black Grotesquerie, Hollowed Blackness, Black Cacophony, and the Black Ecstatic. Each chapter explores a particular form using Black feminist and queer theory along with examples from across different arts"-- Provided by publisher. |
