Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Were seeing people that we didnt know exist, the director of FEMA acknowledged in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Sacral Grooves, Limbo Gateways offers a corrective to some of Americas institutionalized invisibilities by delving into the submerged networks of ritual performance, writing, intercultural history, and migration that have linked the coastal U.S. South with the Caribbean and the wider Atlantic world. This interdisciplinary study slips beneath the bar of rigid national and literary periods, embarking upon deepermore rhythmic and embodiedsignatures of time. It swings low through ecologies and symbolic orders of creolized space. And it reappraises pluralistic modes of knowledge, kinship, and authority that have sustained vital forms of agency (such as jazz) amid abysses of racialized trauma.Drawing from Haitian Vodou and New Orleanian Voudou and from Cuban and South Floridian Santeria, as well as from Afro-Baptist (Caribbean, Geechee, and Bahamian) models of encounters with otherness, this book reemplaces deep-southern texts within the counterclockwise ring-stepping of a long Afro-Atlantic modernity. Turning to an orphan girls West African initiation tale to follow a remarkably traveled body of feminine rites and writing (in works by Paule Marshall, Zora Neale Hurston, Lydia Cabrera, William Faulkner, James Weldon Johnson, and LeAnne Howe, among others), Cartwright argues that only in holistic form, emergent from gulfs of cross-cultural witness, can literary and humanistic authority find legitimacy. Without such grounding, he contends, our educational institutions blind and even poison students, bringing them to swallow lye, like the grandson of Phoenix Jackson in Eudora Weltys A Worn Path. Here, literary study may open pathways to alternative medicinesfetched by tenacious avatars like Phoenix (or an orphan Kumba or a shell-shaking Turtle)to remedy the lies our partial histories have made us swallow. Drawing from Haitian and New Orleanian Vodou, Cuban and South Floridian Santeria, as well as from Afro-Baptist (Caribbean, Geechee, and Bahamian) models of encounter with otherness, Sacral Grooves, Limbo Gateways places deep southern texts within the context of Afro-Atlantic modernity.
