Jazz Fiction
Jazz Fiction: Take Two is the sequel to Jazz Fiction: A History and Comprehensive Reader's Guide (2008). The earlier work filled a pressing need in jazz studies by identifying and discussing 700 works of fiction with a jazz component. Take Two surveys over 500 newer works of jazz-inflected fiction that have appeared from the turn of the 21st century to the present. The essay-reviews at the heart of the book give readers a sense of the plot of each surveyed work and characterizes its debt to jazz. The entries are written with both general readers and scholars in mind and are intended to entertain as well as inform. This alone qualifies Jazz Fiction: Take Two as an original and useful resource.Sascha Feinstein, Founding Editor of Brilliant Corners: A Journal of Jazz and Literature and several books on jazz, says of Jazz Fiction: Take Two: "With this companion volume to Jazz Fiction, David Rife enhances his position as an indispensable scholar of jazz-related fiction. The copious entries-each written not only with deft concision but irresistible linguistic flair-provide the kind of insight that only someone profoundly well-read in the genre could cultivate. One could not ask for a more delightful guide."

Black Post-Blackness
The Black Arts Movement and Twenty-First-Century Aesthetics"Black Post-Blackness moves rigorously with and against the grain of the most important work in black studies and performance studies, thereby joining it. In showing how blackness is unexhausted by the question of identity, Margo Natalie Crawford keeps its study on new, constantly renewed, persistently renewable footing."--Fred Moten, author of In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition "An original and very important contribution to African American Studies, American literature, and African American thought. Eloquent, exciting to read, as energetic as its subject matter."--Farah Jasmine Griffin, author of Harlem Nocturne: Women Artists and Progressive Politics During World War II "In our putatively post-racial America, nothing can bring race racing back more quickly than a discussion of post-blackness. 'Your post-black ain't like mine' isn't the title of any song, but perhaps should be. Margo Crawford coins the term, then assays the coinage. With a deep, scholarly assurance, she revisits misunderstood moments of the Black Aesthetic Movement, limning a poetics of anticipation that tells us so much about our present."--Aldon Lynn Nielsen, author of Integral Music: Languages of African American Innovation "Margo Natalie Crawford's titular concept in Black Post-Blackness: The Black Arts Movement and Twenty-First-Century Aesthetics is oceanic: it is multifaceted and much encompassing." --CAA Reviews "Highly recommended."--Choice "The book itself reads as a thoughtfully conceived and researched love letter to the BAM that looks hopefully to the possibilities of a relationship with black post-blackness in our contemporary moment." --MELUS "Margo Natalie Crawford's titular concept in Black Post-Blackness: The Black Arts Movement and Twenty-First-Century Aesthetics is oceanic: it is multifaceted and much encompassing." --CAA Reviews "In our putatively post-racial America, nothing can bring race racing back more quickly than a discussion of post-blackness.

He mixes genre and tone with absolute abandon, never does the same song twice. Brilliant.”—The Boston Globe “. . .
