| Sumario: | Chapter 1 of the book "Raising the Dead" is presented. It explores the place of African American subjectivity in the popular imagination, contending that African Americans are not just marginal to the culture. Arguing that residual subject relations from slavery are still active in the U.S. imaginary, it examines the film "Menace II Society," using it as a model of the interface of the nation, the dead, and blackness. It traces the attitudes toward death (and the dying) in a medical context. |
