Cannibal Democracy

Race and Representation in the Literature of the Americas

By: Zita Nunes

Zita Nunes argues that the prevailing narratives of identity formation throughout the Americas share a dependence on metaphors of incorporation and, often, of cannibalism. From the position of the incorporating body, the construction of a national and racial identity through a process of assimilation presupposes a remainder, a residue. Nunes addresses works by writers and artists who explore what is left behind in the formation of national identities and speak to the limits of the contemporary discourse of democracy. Cannibal Democracy tracks its central metaphor’s circulation through the work of writers such as Mrio de Andrade, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Toni Morrison and journalists of the black press, as well as work by visual artists including Magdalena Campos-Pons and Keith Piper, and reveals how exclusion-understood in terms of what is left out-can be fruitfully understood in terms of what is left over from a process of unification or incorporation. Nunes shows that while this remainder can be deferred into the future-lurking as a threat to the desired stability of the present-the residue haunts discourses of national unity, undermining the ideologies of democracy that claim to resolve issues of race. Zita Nunes is associate professor of English at the University of Maryland, College Park.

LOVE AND MOTHERHOOD IN TONI MORRISON'S BELOVED

By: Zita Rarastesa

This book discusses Toni Morrison's Beloved and attempts to explain the healing process of black people in the United States from the pain of slavery. Using black feminist approach, the author discusses how the female characters deal with the past and live with it in the present, what love and motherhood mean to the female characters, and how much the past influences their lives. This approach is considered the most effective one to analyze Beloved related to three kinds of inseparable oppression: sexism, racism, and classism. Beloved delivers a universal message to all black people that even though they must live with the past of slavery, they should learn from it to face the future. Although the pain of slavery still remains in black people's memories, they have to move on. Beloved also makes the readers see that not all black people are victims and not all white people are oppressors.

Band of Gold

How We Understand the Beats

The Reception of the Beat Generation in the United States and the Czech Lands

By: Antonín Zita

Kniha se zabývá srovnáním recepce autorů Beat Generation v USA a v Česku, a to ve dvou časových obdobích – v 50. a 60. letech 20. století a poté od 90. let až do současnosti. Zatímco samotné publikace Beat Generation autorů zůstaly nezměněné, kontexty těchto publikací byly zásadně odlišné: v USA byla díla autorů Beat Generation často redukována senzacechtivými kritiky na nevyzrálé vychvalování drog, sexu i násilí, v Československu naopak tito autoři získali přízeň čtenářů díky neobvyklosti svého literárního jazyka, kterou jejich próza a poezie představovaly na literárním trhu značně pokřiveném tezemi socialistického realismu. Tato studie tedy dokládá, jak mohou odlišné kontexty ovlivnit přístup čtenářů k literárnímu textu a jejich autorům, což ve výsledku pomáhá přeměnit daný text na odlišné umělecké dílo.

Pick 6

By: Francis Zita

James Horton was capped out in a mediocre career with a hefty mortgage, two kids, unrelenting bills, and the limited prospect of earning more money. That’s all there was and all there would be until his death. He knew it. He accepted it. But winning the lottery instantly erased a future full of worry. It afforded him the rare luxury of placing his head on a pillow at night enjoying the stress free thoughts of an economically liberated man. At least it should have. So why did he find himself in jail with less money than he’s ever had? Why does he accuse the bank of stealing his money and how did his family life become so fragile? Set in the fall of 2008 amidst our country’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, James didn’t have much, had everything, and then had nothing. His haphazard journey explores our hard wired relationship with money and pushes one man to learn something about himself, something he never knew he had.
