Black Women and Energies of Resistance in Nineteenth-Century Haitian and American LiteratureAuthor(s): Mary Grace Albanese\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9781009314244, 978-1009314244\nSynopsis\nBlack Women and Energies of Resistance in Nineteenth-Century Haitian and American Literatureintervenes in traditional narratives of 19th-century American modernity by situating Black women at the center of an increasingly connected world. While traditional accounts of modernity have emphasized advancements in communication technologies, animal and fossil fuel extraction, and the rise of urban centers, Mary Grace Albanese proposes that women of African descent combated these often violent regimes through diasporic spiritual beliefs and practices, including spiritual possession, rootwork, midwifery, mesmerism, prophecy, and wandering. It shows how these energetic acts of resistance were carried out on scale.
