About this product

Product Information

In this provocative new book, Mark Christian Thompson addresses the startling fact that many African American intellectuals in the 1930s sympathized with fascism, seeing in its ideology a means of envisioning new modes of African American political resistance. Thompson surveys the work and thought of several authors and asserts that their sometimes positive reaction to generic European fascism, and its transformation into black fascism, is crucial to any understanding of Depression-era African American literary culture. The book considers the high regard that "Back to Africa" advocate Marcus Garvey expressed for fascist dictators and explores the common ground he shared with George Schuyler and Claude McKay, writers with whom Garvey is generally thought to be at odds. Thompson reveals how fascism informed a rejection of Marxism by McKay--as well as by Arna Bontemps, whose Drums at Dusk depicts communism as antithetical to any black revolution. A similarly authoritarian stance is examined in the work of Zora Neale Hurston, where the striving for a fascist sovereignty presents itself as highly critical of Nazism while nonetheless sharing many of its tenets. The book concludes with an investigation of Richard Wright?s The Outsider and its murderous protagonist, Cross Damon, who articulates fascist drives already present, if latent, in Native Son ?s Bigger Thomas. Unencumbered by the historical or biblical references of the earlier work, Damon personifies the essence of black fascism. Taking on a subject generally ignored or denied in African American cultural and literary studies, Black Fascisms seeks not only to question the prominence of the Left in the political thought of a generation of writers but to change how we view African American literature in general. Encompassing political theory, cultural studies, critical theory, and historicism, the book will challenge readers in numerous fields, providing a new model for thinking about the political and transnational in African American culture and shedding new light on our understanding of fascism between the wars.

Reviews
Black Fascisms bravely goes against the grain of much received opinion about the main currents in modern African American literature and intellectual history; it has a good story to tell, and it tells it well and convincingly. - Eric Sundquist, UCLA, author of Strangers in the Land: Blacks, Jews, Post-Holocaust America

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Excellent book on the influence of Fascism on the Black Intelligentsia

    This book is about a great deal more than Marcus Garvey (great as he was). It is also about other literary figures in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s who were more influenced by rightist nationalist thought than Marxism. It is a welcome relief from the stifling political correctness that maintains that Blacks are inherently left-wing or drawn to socialism (which is as untrue as the old saw that all White people are racists). The old racism said that all Black People looked alike; the new racism (of the Left) maintains they all think alike. Maintains African-Americans can be racist and rightist too. This book should give outgoing President Barack Obama nightmares as much as the thought of his successor in that high office.
