    Aliyyah I. Abdur-Rahman examines how contemporary avant-garde black art and writing by Wangechi Mutu, Marci Blackman, Alexandria Smith, Colson Whitehead, Toni Morrison, Harmony Holiday, and Essex Hemphill use experimental methods to represent and imaginatively remediate racial harm "Millennial Style examines recent Black experiments in writing and the visual arts that start from a place of trauma. Aliyyah Abdur-Rahman's work underscores that all the millennial attempts-artistic and political-to gain full human citizenship have failed to change the ongoing situation and danger of Black lives. Where earlier Black writers might have employed a more realist mode to make a case for justice, the Black avant-garde work of today reaches for more experimental ways to convey the horrors of the changing same. The chapters outline four modes that have been widely employed: Black Grotesquerie, Hollowed Blackness, Black Cacophony, and the Black Ecstatic.

    "The Specter and the Speculative: Afterlives and Archives in the African Diaspora engages in a critical conversation about how historical subjects and historical texts within the African Diaspora are re-fashioned, re-animated, and re-articulated, as well as parodied, nostalgized, and defamiliarized, to establish an "afterlife" for African Atlantic identities and narratives. These essays focus on transnational, transdisciplinary, and transhistorical sites of memory and haunting--textual, visual, and embodied performances--in order to examine how these "living" archives circulate and imagine anew the meanings of prior narratives liberated from their original context. Individual essays examine how historical and literary performances--in addition to film, drama, music, dance, and material culture--thus revitalized, transcend and speak across temporal and spatial boundaries not only to reinstate traditional meanings, but also to motivate fresh commentary and critique. Emergent and established scholars representing diverse disciplines and fields of interest specifically engage under explored themes related to afterlives, archives, and haunting"--
