Introduction: Dis-embodied subjects writing fire -- 1. Captive flesh no more: Saartjie Baartman, quintessential migratory subject -- 2. "Crimes against the flesh": politics and poetics of the black female body -- 3. Framing violence: resistance, redemption, and recuperative strategies in I, Tituba, black witch of Salem -- 4. Mothering the nation: women's bodies as nationalist trope in Edwidge Danticat's Breath, eyes, memory -- 5. Performing the body: transgressive doubles, fatness and blackness -- 6. Bodies and disease: finding alternative cure, assuming alternative identity.

"Using feminist and womanist theory, Simone Alexander takes as her main point of analysis literary works that focus on the black female body as the physical and metaphorical site of migration. She shows that over time black women have used their bodily presence to complicate and challenge a migratory process often forced upon them by men or patriarchal society. A multifaceted contribution to studies of gender, race, sexuality, and disability issues, African Diasporic Women's Narratives engages with a range of issues as it grapples with the complex interconnectedness of geography, citizenship, and nationalism."--Back cover.
