POST-SOUL SPECULATION: AN EXPLORATION OF AFRO-SOUTHERN SPECULATIVE FICTION A Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by HILARY M. WORD May 2020 Copyright © Hilary M. Word 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of female authored, post-soul, Afro-Southern speculative fiction. The specific texts being examined are My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due, Stigmata by Phyllis Alesia Perry, and Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. Through exploration of these texts, I posit two large arguments. First, I posit that this thesis as a collective work illustrates how women-authored Afro-Southern speculative fiction based in the post-soul era embodies and champions womanist politics and praxis critical for liberation through speculative elements. Second, I assert that this thesis is demonstrative of how this particular type of fiction showcases the importance of specificity of setting and reflects other, often erased facets of African American identity and realities by centering the experiences of contemporary Black Southerners.

  • Brittany Norwood. Haunted Collections: the Representation of Female Horror Authors in Public Library Collections
    Brittany Norwood. Haunted Collections: The Representation of Female Horror Authors in Public Library Collections. A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April 2019. 84 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm While several women are writing or have written in the horror genre, the stereotype that women do not write horror remains prevalent. This perception can lead to these female horror authors being overlooked in library collections. As underrepresenting female horror authors can negatively impact their addition to the horror canon as well as strengthen the stereotype that women do not write horror, it is important to examine library catalogs to see if they are representing female horror authors in their collections. This study performed a modified list-checking format of collection assessment to analyze the representation of female horror authors in the collections of five public libraries in North Carolina. Overall, female horror authors appeared to be more likely to be excluded from library collections than included, with levels of exclusion in library catalogs increasing for women of color who have written or are currently writing in the horror genre. Recommendations for how libraries can represent female authors in their collections are provided.

Read our conversation to know find out about her life, adventures, and writing. Mackenzie Kiera: Thank you for meeting with me. Tananarive Due: Absolutely. MK: What are you working on right now? TD: I’m going to have to do some writing, I’m working on a rule right now—I don’t talk about writing unless I’m actually writing, and I’ve been talking about this to death. I owe myself a good meaty writing session, but I’m working on a novel called The Reformatory, it’s set in 1915 in Florida. It’s about a twelve-year-old boy who is unjustly sent to a “school for boys” that’s really a juvenile prison —a reformatory. They put the boys to work, beat them terribly—and then his sixteen-year-old sister’s efforts to get him out. The novel is about incarceration set against the Jim Crow south. MK: A sibling story, too. TD: A sibling story, a coming of age story. Absolutely. MK: Sounds intriguing. TD: I hope! I’m working on it. MK: What books are you currently reading? TD: I’m reading An Unkindness of Ghosts. MK: Who is it by? TD: A debut writer, Rivers Solomon. It is fantastic and futuristic. It takes place on a very large spacecraft that mimics the caste systems we have on Earth. The workers are on the lower floor, elite on the higher, etc.
