A CREOLE EXPERIMENT<br>Utopian Space in Kamau Brathwaite’s “video-style” Works<p> by Melanie Otto
A CREOLE EXPERIMENT
Utopian Space in Kamau Brathwaite’s “video-style” Works

by Melanie Otto

In A Creole Experiment, Melanie Otto examines the utopian aspect of Brathwaite’s major “video-style” works while employing the concepts of Heimat (homeland) and “concrete utopia,” which were developed by philosopher Ernst Bloch in The Principle of Hope.  She also focuses on Brathwaite’s interrogation and reinterpretation of the conventions of magical realism. Unlike mainstream Latin American magical realism, Brathwaite’s work is radical in both form and content, developing a distinctly creole aesthetic.  In addition, Otto notes that Brathwaite’s vision of a “creole cosmos” does not refer to an ideal place. Instead, it reveals the tangibility of an often dismal day-to-day existence.

CONSTRUCTING INCEST STORIES
Black Women’s Voices in Fact and Fiction

By Dorothy L. Hurley and E. Anthony Hurley
Constructing Incest Stories: Black Women’s Voices in Fact and Fiction provides a highly original perspective on incest by an illuminating fusion of social science research and literary analysis. The analysis of the process of the construction of “factual” stories serves as a springboard for examining the problematics of narrative construction in five fictional works whose plots are built around incest: Karen E. Quinones Miller’s I’m Telling, Donna Hill’s In My Bedroom, Sapphire/ Ramona Lofton’s Push, Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, and Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
Voices from the Middle Passage

edited by A. J. Williams-Myers
In Their Own Words is a gripping and haunting encounter with voices once silenced by the tragic Atlantic Voyage—The Middle Passage—reaching out across time to be heard. The book originated from a student project in the author’s class titled “Historical Terrorism Directed at African Americans and Native Americans,” taught during the Fall Semester of 2006 at the State University of New York at New Paltz. It was the final exercise of the term that put the students in a situation of feeling the long arm of terrorism, reaching out to touch them across a time
