"impresses with its logic, thoroughness, and intellectual force. We come away with a far better understanding of how race as cultural and social markers have been complicated, supported, and undercut by white women writers.." -"American Literature "As commentary on the discourse of culture, the book adds a new angle to studies of the dynamics of identification, subjectivity, and desire.... the book is very well researched and its arguments are lucid and compelling.... My highest praise for Diane Robert's "The Myth "of Aunt Jemima: Representations of Race and Region is that it will be an excellent centerpiece for my newly designed graduate Women's STudies Course, "Gender and Representation....". Overall, Robert's book is an engaging commentary on objectification and control and the problems of gender and subjectivity.." -"Research in African Literatures "Roberts' analysis of the tangled relationship between recism and gender stereotyping is as much disheartening as enlightening. A hundred years after emancipation, and twenty five years after integration, we haven't learned a damn thing.." -"Southern Exposure
The Myth of Aunt Jemima is a bold and exciting look at the way three centuries of white women writers have tackled the subject of race in both Britain and America. Diane Roberts challenges the widely-held belief that white women writers have simply acquiesed in majority cultural inscriptions of race. The Myth of Aunt Jemima shows how 'the mythic spheres of race, of the separation of black and white into low and high, other and originary, tainted and pure, remain to trouble a society struggling still to free itself from debilitating racial representations.'
Beautifully written with a powerful series of textual readings, The Myth of Aunt Jemima pushes at the boundaries of thought around the issues of race and gender. An important and innovative book.
