Abstract

"Black Women's Bodies and The Nation develops a decolonial approach to representations of black women's bodies within popular culture in the US, UK and the Caribbean. It focuses on the racialization and affective load of muscle, bone, fat and skin through the trope of the subaltern figure of the Sable-Saffron Venus as an 'alter/native.' The author argues that enslavement, colonialism and settlement in the metropole created the black woman's body as both other/same and as deeply affective, whether read as fear, disgust, contempt or fascination. Her body draws attention to the negotiations through which the semblance of consensus on the citizen body is created. Yet, at the same time, black women's bodies as Sable-Saffron Venus alter/natives rupture the collective body formed through the (re)iteration, (re)interpretation and (re)presentation of the meanings of muscle, bone, fat and skin."--Page 4 of cover
