Product Information
Even the most cursory review of black literary production during the nineteenth century indicates that its primary concerns were the issues of slavery, racial subjugation, abolitionist politics and liberation. How did the writers of these narratives "bear witness" to the experiences they describe? At a time when a hegemonic discourse on these subjects already existed, what did it mean to "tell the truth" about slavery? Impossible Witnesses explores these questions through a study of fiction, poetry, essays, and slave narratives from the abolitionist era. Linking the racialized discourses of slavery and Romanticism, it boldly calls for a reconfiguration of U.S. and British Romanticism that places slavery at its center. Impossible Witnesses addresses some of the major literary figures and representations of slavery in light of discourses on natural rights and law, offers an account of Foucauldian discourse analysis as it applies to the problem of "bearing witness," and analyzes specific narratives such as "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," and "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano." A work of great depth and originality, Impossible Witnesses renders traditional interpretations of Romanticism impossible and places Dwight A. McBride at the forefront of studies in race and literature.

Reviews
"The globalization of culture makes increasingly apparent that the slave trade and its resulting exfoliation of cultural forms, both in the Americas and in Europe, were constitutive elements for the postcolonial and diasporic literatures of later days. In this respect and others, Impossible Witnesses describes a fascinating interplay between the Anglo-American history of slavery, British Romanticism, and African American literature, and constitutes an important addition to recent scholarship on the black Atlantic." -Eric J. Sundquist,Dean of Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, Northwestern University, "Dwight McBride's Impossible Witnesses is the most sophisticated treatment I have read of the slaves bearing witness to the truth of their condition. He teases out complexity and depth heretofore overlooked. Don't miss this important text." -Cornel West, "The globalization of culture makes increasingly apparent that the slave trade and its resulting exfoliation of cultural forms, both in the Americas and in Europe, were constitutive elements for the postcolonial and diasporic literatures of later days.

He teases out complexity and depth heretofore overlooked. Don't miss this important text." - Cornel West, "In this ambitious and thought-provoking study, Dwight A. McBride places representative black-authored texts spanning the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries "in conversation with canonical Romantic authors and their tropes" to answer the fundamental intellectual question the work poses, "What does it mean for a slave to bear witness to, or tell the 'truth' about slavery?'" -The Journal of American History, "In this era of national rethinking of the death penalty, The Road to Abolition? makes a singular contribution. From start to finish this is a compelling book. Bringing together a series of insightful essays by distinguished scholars, Ogletree and Sarat help us take stock of the progress we've made and what remains to be done to end capital punishment. For death penalty scholars as well as activists and policy makers this is a must read." - Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, author of Dead Man Walking, "A necessary and compelling work which will expand and sharpen abolitionist scholarship." -Toni Morrison, "A necessary and compelling work which will expand and sharpen abolitionist scholarship." -Toni Morrison,, "His rich volume takes up the complex and strategic discourses that circulated around the truth of slave testimony....actively engaging." - American Literature ,, "His rich volume takes up the complex and strategic discourses that circulated around the truth of slave testimony....actively engaging." -American Literature, "This timely book should be read by anyone who has a personal or professional interest in capital punishment. The chapters in this volume vividly capture both the current state and the future of the abolition movement in the United States." - John Blume, Professor of Law, Director of the Cornell Death Penalty Project, Cornell Law School, "In this ambitious and thought-provoking study, Dwight A.

This collection of essays is provocative, creative, and deeply insightful, linking the problem of capital punishment to a series of larger debates of our time. It is a must read for anyone interested in the death penalty's past, present, and future in the United States." - Mona Lynch, author of Sunbelt Justice: Arizona and the Transformation of American Punishment, "A necessary and compelling work which will expand and sharpen abolitionist scholarship." - Toni Morrison, "In this ambitious and thought-provoking study, Dwight A. McBride places representative black-authored texts spanning the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries "in conversation with canonical Romantic authors and their tropes" to answer the fundamental intellectual question the work poses, "What does it mean for a slave to bear witness to, or tell the 'truth' about slavery?'", ("The essays, organized into three sections, are as compelling in their analyses as those in the first two collections." "Highly recommended.")-(CHOICE),()
