Abstract

Abstract:This article reads Frances Harper’s serialized novel, Minnie’s Sacrifice (1868), as a response to the anxieties of loss and reunion captured in the “Information Wanted” feature of the Christian Recorder. When mutually assessed, each text augments the other, harkening back to the African American cultural tradition of call-and-response. I explore this tradition’s inversion in the periodical, giving way to new forms of understanding how the presence of call-and-response exists beyond the bounds of religiosity, and how it can be a method of literary analysis that helps us better understand African American print culture.

团聚之歌:“信息通缉”广告，米妮的牺牲，和呼叫与回应的传统

摘要:本文阅读弗朗西斯·哈珀的连载小说《米妮的牺牲》(1868)，以回应《基督教纪事报》“信息通缉”栏目所捕捉到的失落与团聚的焦虑。当相互评估时，每个文本都是相互补充的，这又回到了非裔美国人的呼唤与回应的文化传统。我在期刊中探索了这一传统的反转，让位于新的理解形式，即“呼唤与回应”如何超越宗教信仰的界限存在，以及它如何成为一种文学分析方法，帮助我们更好地理解非裔美国人的印刷文化。

期刊介绍： As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
