"In American history and throughout the Western world, the subjugation perpetuated by slavery has created a unique "culture of slavery." That culture exists as a metaphorical, artistic, and literary tradition attached to the enslaved - human beings whoselives are "owed" to another, who are used as instruments by another, and who must endure suffering in silence. Tim Armstrong explores the metaphorical legacy of slavery in American culture by investigating debt, technology, and pain in African-American literature and a range of other writings and artworks. Armstrong's careful analysis reveals how notions of the slave as a debtor lie hidden in our accounts of the commodified self and how writers like Nathaniel Hawthorne, Rebecca Harding Davis, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Ralph Ellison, and Toni Morrison grapple with the pervasive view that slaves are akin to machines. Finally, Armstrong examines how conceptions of the slave as a container of suppressed pain are reflected in disciplines as diverse as art, sculpture, music, and psychology"--

Recenzijas

'The Logic of Slavery is a bracing read and a showcase for Armstrong's remarkable intellectual flexibility and range.' The Cambridge Journal of Postcolonial Literary Inquiry 'Compelling, persuasive, and theoretically sophisticated, this book is concerned primarily with the figural, metaphorical dimensions of slavery in the Western world A strikingly original work - deeply engaging, carefully researched and documented - this volume will interest informed readers, students, and scholars of slavery and race, the history of slavery, African American studies, and American studies.' J. A. Miller, Choice ' deserves a close read by specialists interested in the investment American culture has in slavery and its historical narratives Its engagement with African American literature, theory, and historical narrative will engage scholars across disciplines.' The Journal of American Culture 'The book is an extraordinarily erudite, intellectually sophisticated, and beautifully written contribution to the wider project - which must necessarily be multifaceted - of disinterring slavery's continuing impact on contemporary American culture.' Anita Rupprecht, Cultural Critique
