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

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.
