Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction

Politics and Affect in Black Women's Fiction

By: Kathy Glass

Exploring literary possibilities, Politics and Affect reads black women’s text—in particular Frances Harper’s “The Two Offers” (1859), Julia Collins’s The Curse of Caste (1865), Nella Larsen’s Quicksand (1928), and Danzy Senna’s Caucasia (1998)—as richly creative documents saturated with sociopolitical value. Interested in how African American women writers from the nineteenth century to the present have mined the politics of affect and emotion to document love, shame, and suffering in environments shaped by race, Kathy Glass gives sustained attention to the impact of racist affect on the black body, and examines how black women writers deploy emotional states to engender sociopolitical change.

His mother, whom he calls Oma, opens a grocery store in Harlem, a suburb, next to New York City, and together they begin a new life and get to know many different kinds of people. One day, Hyong Bae Oh meets a Black girl who is the same age as he is. Her name is Zoey, and they become good friends in spite of their differences. But Oma forbids Hyong Bae Oh from playing with Zoey because she is different from them. He is sad and lonely for months without his friend. And then one day something terrible happens; Oma gets very sick and must go to the hospital. Hyong Bae Oh sees Zoey and gets the chance to tell her what has happened. Will she and her mother be able to help Oma understand that people who are different still be friends?

The Writer's Body Lexicon

Body Parts, Actions, and Expressions

By: Kathy Steinemann

Ordinary writers describe the body in order to evoke images in readers’ minds. Extraordinary writers leverage it to add elements such as tension, intrigue, and humor. The Writer’s Body Lexicon provides tools for both approaches. Kathy Steinemann provides a boggling number of word choices and phrases for body parts, organized under similar sections in most chapters: • Emotion Beats and Physical Manifestations • Adjectives • Similes and Metaphors • Colors and Variegations • Scents • Shapes • Verbs and Phrasal Verbs • Nouns • Prompts • Clichés and Idioms Sprinkled throughout, you’ll also find hundreds of story ideas. They pop up in similes, metaphors, word lists, and other nooks and crannies. Readers don’t want every character to be a cardboard cutout with a perfect physique. They prefer real bodies with imperfections that drive character actions and reactions — bodies with believable skin, scents, and colors. For instance, a well-dressed CEO whose infrequent smile exposes poorly maintained teeth might be on the verge of bankruptcy. A gorgeous cougar with decaying teeth, who tells her young admirer she’s rich, could spook her prey. Someone trying to hide a cigarette habit from a spouse might be foiled by nicotine stains. Add depth to your writing. Rather than just describe the body, exploit it. Build on it. Mold it until it becomes an integral part of your narrative. “… a timeless resource: You’ll find advice, prompts, ideas, vocabulary, humor, and everything in between. But more importantly, it will make your characters stand out from the crowd.” — Nada Sobhi
