Reviews

Rushdy's interpretation is noteworthy for the additional lines of inquiry it suggests, primarily how the neo-slave narrative might be considered in relation to other literary forms of the 1970's and 1980's...--The New England Quarterly
"Recommended for upper-division undergraduates through faculty."--Choice
"Rushdy's book tells us a great deal not just about the four novels he reads closely, but also about American conceptions of slavery and race in the second half og the twentieth century; we walk away from Neo-slave Narratives with a multilayered sense of what Rushdy calls the 'social logic' of the form, a logic which demonstrates that 'form is not extrinsic to historical understanding but rather constructive of it.'In short, Rushdy approaches his texts
as complex objects circulating in many intersecting exchanges and listens carefully for the whistling and humming around him." Theory and Cultural Studies
"An informative, insightful book, exemplary in its eclectic combination of approaches, including close reading and formal analysis, historical and biographical reportage, philosophical enlightenment, and cultural and sociopolitical critique." Contemporary Literature
