Amerigo Jones liebt seine Eltern Rutherford und Viola, die selbst noch Teenager sind, als er zur Welt kommt, und er ist ein grosser Träumer. Doch viele seiner Träume werden ein Leben lang unerfüllt bleiben, nicht wegen seiner Person, sondern wegen seiner Hautfarbe. «Amerigo Jones» ist die Geschichte einer Kindheit und Jugend im Kansas City der 1920er- und 1930er-Jahre, das einerseits als Zentrum des Jazz von einer lebendigen Musikszene, andererseits von Rassentrennung geprägt war. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Amerigos Schilderungen der urbanen Welt, in der er selbst seinen Weg finden muss. Vincent O. Carter hat einen unvergesslichen und musikalischen Roman geschrieben über die Geschichte Schwarzer Menschen in Amerika, über den Kampf für Gleichberechtigung und über ein starkes Gefühl von Familie und Gemeinschaft.

Set in Kansas City, Missouri, during the Jazz Age of the 1920s and ’30s, Such Sweet Thunder is a majestic evocation of childhood and parental love told through the eyes of a remarkable boy, Amerigo Jones. This vivid portrait of an era marred by racial segregation and relentless, daily injustices is nonetheless rendered with love and longing for a time and place that was enriched by a vibrant, burgeoning, and widely influential African American culture and a fierce feeling for family and community.

"To be a Black writer in the early years of the Cold War was to face a stark predicament. On the one hand, revolutionary Communism promised egalitarianism and lit the sparks of anticolonial struggle, but was hostile to conceptions of personal freedom. On the other hand, the great force opposing the Soviets at midcentury was itself the very fountainhead of racial prejudice, represented in the United States by Jim Crow. Jesse McCarthy argues that Black writers of this time were equally alienated from the left and the right and channeled that alienation into remarkable experiments in literary form. Embracing racial affect and interiority, they forged an aesthetic resistance premised on fierce dissent from both US racial liberalism and Soviet Communism. Ranging from the end of World War II to the rise of Black Power in the 1960s, from Richard Wright and James Baldwin to Gwendolyn Brooks and Paule Marshall and others, Jesse McCarthy shows how Black writers defined a distinctive moment in American literary culture that McCarthy calls "the Blue Period.""--

This volume considers innovations, transitions, and traditions in both familiar and unfamiliar texts and moments in 1960s African American literature and culture. It interrogates declarations of race, authenticity, personal and collective empowerment, political action, and aesthetics within this key decade. It is divided into three sections. The first section engages poetry and music as pivotal cultural form in 1960s literary transitions. The second section explains how literature, culture, and politics intersect to offer a blueprint for revolution within and beyond the United States. The final section addresses literary and cultural moments that are lesser-known in the canon of African American literature and culture. This book presents the 1960s as a unique commitment to art, when 'Black' became a political identity, one in which racial social justice became inseparable from aesthetic practice.

This volume is a study of the connected ideas of "queer" and "gender performance" or "performativity" over the past several decades, providing an ambitious history and crucial examination of these concepts while questioning their very bases. Addressing cultural forms from 1960s–70s sociology, performance art, and drag queen balls to more recent queer voguing performances by Pasifika and Māori people from New Zealand and pop culture television shows such as RuPaul’s Drag Race, the book traces how and why "queer" and "performativity" seem to belong together in so many discussions around identity, popular modes of gender display, and performance art. Drawing on art history and performance studies but also on feminist, queer, and sexuality studies, and postcolonial, indigenous, and critical race theoretical frameworks, it seeks to denaturalize these assumptions by questioning the US-centrism and white-dominance of discourses around queer performance or performativity. The book’s narrative is deliberately recursive, itself articulated in order performatively to demonstrate the specific valence and social context of each concept as it emerged, but also the overlap and interrelation among the terms as they have come to co-constitute one another in popular culture and in performance and visual arts theory, history, and practice. Written from a hybrid art historical and performance studies point of view, this will be essential reading for all those interested in art, performance, and gender, as well as in queer and feminist theory.

Dass Sahar ein Kind mit einem Mann hat, mit dem sie nicht verheiratet ist, ist für ihre Familie unerhört. Auf dem Papier ist sie mit ihrem Cousin Beyto verheiratet. Dass Beyto schwul ist, erfuhr Sahar erst nach der Zwangsheirat, nach der Beyto nach London geflohen war. Sahar kämpft dafür, dass ihre Tochter Amal und deren Vater, ihr Partner Michael, von der Familie anerkannt werden. Als sie für Michael eine Hose in der Änderungsschneiderei Messo abholt, lernt sie die Schneiderin Juana kennen. Verlust und das Tabuthema Homosexualität prägen auch ihre Familiengeschichte. In ihren Gesprächen helfen die beiden Frauen einander dabei, sich aus erstarrten Strukturen zu lösen und den Tabus die Macht zu nehmen. Nach «Hochzeitsflug» und «Die Wunschplatane» nimmt «Der Libellenspiegel» die Perspektive der Frauen ein und erzählt von ihrem Mut und der Kraft von Freundschaften.
