San Jacinto College and president of the Toni Morrison SocietyWhile there is no lackof scholarship on the trans-Atlantic voyage and the Middle Passage as tropes in African diasporicwriting, to date there has not been a comprehensive analysis of bodies of water in AfricanAmerican literature and culture. In Water and African American Memory, Anissa Wardioffers the first sustained treatise on watercourses in the African American expressive tradition. Herholistic approach especially highlights the ways that water acts not only as a metaphorical site oftrauma, memory, and healing but also as a material site. Using the trans-Atlantic voyageas a starting point and ending with a discussion of Hurricane Katrina, this pioneering ecocriticalstudy delves deeply into the environmental dimension of African American writing. Beyondproposing a new theoretical map for conceptualizing the African Diaspora, Wardi offers a series ofengaging and original close readings of major literary, filmic, and blues texts, including the worksof Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, Julie Dash, Henry Dumas, and Kasi Lemmon.
