<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Exploring post-apocalypticism in the Black literary and cultural tradition, <i>Post-Apocalypticism and the Black Female Imagination</i> extends the scholarly conversation on Afro-futurist canon formation through an examination of futuristic imaginaries in representative 20th and 21st-century works of literature and expressive culture by Black women in an Afro-diasporic setting. The book demonstrates the implications of Afro-futurist literary criticism for Black Atlantic literary and critical theory, investigating issues of hybridity, border crossing, temporality, and historical recuperation. Covering a wide range of writers - including Octavia Butler, Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson, Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward and Beyoncé - Maxine Lavon Montgomery shows how Black women artists attempt to recover a raced, gendered heritage in framing an evolving social order existing as a part of, yet separate and distinct from, the past.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Maxine Lavon Montgomery</b> is Professor of English at Florida State University, USA. Her recent publications include <i>The Fictions of Gloria Naylor</i> (2011) and, as editor, <i> Conversations with Edwidge Danticat</i> (2017)
