Extravagant abjection : blackness, power, and sexuality in the African American literary imagination / Darieck Scott.

• Introduction: Blackness, abjection, and sexuality -- Fanon's muscles: (Black) power revisited -- "A race that could be so dealt with" : terror, time, and (Black) power -- Slavery, rape, and the Black male abject -- Notes on Black (power) bottoms -- The occupied territory : homosexuality and history in Amiri Baraka's Black arts -- Porn and the n-word : lust, Samuel Delany's The mad man, and a derangement of body and sense(s) -- Conclusion: Extravagant abjection.

• Summary: Challenging the conception of empowerment associated with the Black Power Movement and its political and intellectual legacies, this title contends that power can be found not only in martial resistance, but, surprisingly, where the black body has been inflicted with harm or humiliation.
