More about the book
The book explores the representation of racial violence and its impact on the body in contemporary culture, particularly in the US South. Christopher Lloyd analyzes literature and film to reveal how cultural memory shapes perceptions of the racialized body today. By integrating insights from Southern Studies, Memory Studies, and Black Studies, along with psychoanalysis and posthumanism, the author investigates the corporeal legacies found in works by authors like Jesmyn Ward and Kathryn Stockett, as well as various film and television narratives.
