"America Represented By A Woman" – Negotiating Feminine And National Identity In Post-Revolutionary America, Michelle Navarre Cleary Dec 1997

"America Represented By A Woman" – Negotiating Feminine And National Identity In Post-Revolutionary America, Michelle Navarre Cleary

Michelle Navarre Cleary

Post-Revolutionary feminism peaked in the early 1790s when even thinkers as radical as Mary Wollstonecraft found a popular audience for their critiques of women's dependence upon and subordination to men. As the decade advanced, however, a backlash developed that characterized the feminine as a dangerous threat to the political order, denied women's authority outside the domestic sphere, and reasserted their dependence upon men. Through readings of two political cartoons by Paul Revere, a popular 1776 sermon by Samuel Sherwood, and Judith Sargent Murray’s “Story of Margaretta,” I argue that this backlash resulted, in part, from the frequent linking of feminine …

Zora Neale Hurston And The Post-Modern Self In 'Dust Tracks On A Road', Pierre A. Walker Dec 1997

Zora Neale Hurston And The Post-Modern Self In 'Dust Tracks On A Road', Pierre A. Walker

Pierre Walker

Zora Neale Hurston's 1942 autobiography 'Dust Tracks on a Road' received negative criticisms from even her most ardent admirers. Literary critics lambasted the book for its apparent unreliability, assimilationist racial politics and inconsistent or fragmentary nature. While these criticisms about 'Dust Tracks on a Road' are valid, readers can appreciate the book from a post-structuralist point of view. 'Dust Tracks' portrays Hurston as an individual with many moods who is in conflict with the world in which she lives and who resists reduction to a coherent, consistent unity.
