- 요약In the decades following the civil rights movement, a cohort of African American artists created novels and plays set in the antebellum or Jim Crow eras. This dissertation first establishes this group of works for the ways that they revisit these two parts of African American history while calling to readers' attention the ways they will not replicate hallmarks of original texts from black authors of those earlier periods. This research pursues the resulting questions: what do black authors writing after the civil rights movement find productive about using slavery and legalized segregation as settings if they also acknowledge that they cannot reconnect contemporary readers to these pasts in an authentic way? And how do novels and plays specifically shape these authors' means for retelling African American history?I find that these fictions engage their audiences in ways distinct from narrative conventions and performance expectations, in order to encourage their audiences to collectively imagine these past black experiences. From this I argue that this group of authors makes black history an inter-generational creative writing process that is mutually formed by African American characters and autobiographers during slavery and Jim Crow, as well as recent readers or playgoers living after the civil rights movement. These authors suggest that they have lost a direct connection to these past moments as parts of an archive, so they will not use their work to recover representative samples of the antebellum and Jim Crow periods. Instead, they indicate that their viewers/readers can still access black history by speculatively creating black experiences, which dissolve the notion of discrete time periods separating them from the past.
