About This Item
Lexington, KY: The University Press of Kentucky, 1999 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Octavo. 8vo. xii, 196 pp, illus. First Edition,1999. Not Price Clipped. Pristine, no wear. No markings, binding tight, clean, white and bright. 6.5" x 9.25". Black cloth with white lettering to spine. Illustrated dj in acetate protector. "The author examines how, for white feminists, Hagar became a liberating symbol to empower their own rebellion against patriarchal restrictions. Hagar's understood blackness allowed her to represent a combination of sexual passion and artistic creativity that empowered women in the process of taking on male roles of economic power in American society. Because of Hagar's ethnic complexity, she stands as an ironically positive figure at the center of several southern proslavery women's novels such as The Deserted Wife, Hagar the Martyr,".
