    Contemporary African American and Black British Women Writers: Narrative, Race, Ethics brings together British and American scholars to explore how, in texts by contemporary black women writers in the U. S. and Britain, formal narrative techniques express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking about race in a reader. Taken together, the essays also demonstrate that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow formal structures and literary techniques from one another to describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race. Narratology has only recently begun to use race as a category of narrative theory. This collection seeks both to show the ethical effects of narrative form on individual readers and to foster reconceptualizations of narrative theory that account for the workings of race within literature and culture.

    Climate change, the rise of right-wing parties across Europe, the growing power and impact of social media or the Covid-19 pandemic – the discussions surrounding some of the most pressing issues of our times lay bare growing chasms between conflicting group interests, hierarchies and identities. In light of these debates, understanding how groups are constructed, how identification processes work and what may lie behind inclusion and exclusion seems more relevant and pertinent than ever. This book sheds light on how 21st-century British fiction represents the relationship between groups and individual identities and also zooms in on the construction of groups as social entities. By doing so, this study highlights the importance of literature and literary studies in understanding (and possibly even bridging the gap between) some of the divides between groups in the 21st century.Contents1.- Introduction11.1 Studying Groups in Literary Studies: Aims and Methodology41.2 State of Research: Group Studies across the Disciplines72.
