Specificatii
Our most modern monster and perhaps our most American, the zombie
that is so prevalent in popular culture today has its roots in
African soul capture mythologies. The Transatlantic Zombie provides
a more complete history of the zombie than has ever been told,
explaining how the myth's migration to the New World was
facilitated by the transatlantic slave trade, and reveals the
real-world import of storytelling, reminding us of the power of
myths and mythmaking, and the high stakes of appropriation and
homage. Beginning with an account of a probable ancestor of the
zombie found in the Kongolese and Angolan regions of
seventeenth-century Africa and ending with a description of the
way, in contemporary culture, new media are used to facilitate
zombie-themed events, Sarah Juliet Lauro plots the zombie's
cultural significance through Caribbean literature, Haitian
folklore, and American literature, film, and the visual arts. The
zombie entered US consciousness through the American occupation of
Haiti, the site of an eighteenth-century slave rebellion that
became a war for independence, thus making the figuration of living
death inseparable from its resonances with both slavery and
rebellion. Lauro bridges African mythology and US mainstream
culture by articulating the ethical complications of the zombie's
invocation as a cultural conquest that was rebranded for the
American cinema. As The Transatlantic Zombie shows, the zombie is
not merely a bogeyman representing the ills of modern society, but
a battleground over which a cultural war has been fought between
the imperial urge to absorb exotic, threatening elements, and the
originary, Afro-disaporic culture's preservation through a strategy
of mythic combat.
