Abstract

Abstract:This essay explores the function of Africa in William Demby's novels The Catacombs and Love Story Black, particularly the commercialization of an African blackness in 1930s Italy and 1970s America. Against the view that blackness is depoliticized in his works, I reveal the author's anticolonial critique in Europe and satire of Afrocentrism in the United States through their intersection with gender politics.

期刊介绍： As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
