Her death certificate declared that she was an “actress” and that she had been a resident of New York City for twenty-five years.2 It mentions nothing of the fact that she had spent most of the 1920s in Paris, nor that she was once celebrated as one of the most glamorous entertainers of the Parisian nightclub scene. This same Florence who died in a New York tenement once strolled between champagne-laden tables in a Parisian nightclub that bore her name, crooning sweetly; this same Florence once coerced a British prince into dancing the black bottom; this same Florence was, according to Langston Hughes, the first person of color he ever saw “deliberately and openly snubbing white people.”3 Florence walked a delicate balance between white admiration and white hatred, as evidenced by her interactions with Ernest Hemingway, a frequent visitor to her establishments. Hemingway describes her as “a typical Negro dancer, jolly, funny, and wonderful on her feet.”4 That is, until she “acquired an English accent and a languid manner” as a result of dancing with European nobility, and for Hemingway, “another of the really amusing after-midnight places was ruined by prosperity.”5 Hemingway’s characterization of Florence has multiple racist overtones: the assumption that she is solely a dancer, the idea that a black woman’s usefulness is only insofar as she provides him with amusement, and the derision of any black affect other than servile jolliness as a ridiculous putting on of airs. However, what is most remarkable about the themes brought up by Hemingway is the way they were used by other black expatriates of the time period to paint Florence as a cautionary tale of black women’s haughtiness.","PeriodicalId":41105,"journal":{"name":"Palimpsest-A Journal on Women Gender and the Black International","volume":"10 1","pages":"23 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/pal.2021.0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48094131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nigerian author Chris Abani’s novella Becoming Abigail (2006) mobilizes the pornotropes of slave narratives to tell a story of contemporary human trafficking.1 Abigail, a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl, is sent from her home in Lagos to London by her father, believing she will attend school under the care of her maternal aunt and uncle. Instead, she encounters physical abuse, forced sex work, punishment by starvation, rape, chains, and other bodily violations. Fighting her way out of imprisonment, Abigail appears to find solace in an interracial, intergenerational sexual affair with her social caseworker—until their sexual relations are discovered by his wife and he is sent to prison for statutory rape. After unsuccessfully petitioning for her caseworker’s release, the girl, Abigail, drowns herself in the Thames River—her life told through a grammar of abjection, erotics, and death. In short, the novella traces the structural violence through which Abigail becomes legible, elucidating how Black and African girls tend to be rendered visible as legal subjects in the global North only through a “salvationist gaze” activated by real or imagined sexual vulnerability.2 In that sense, Abani’s novella serves as a site through which the theft of the body—a “severing of the captive body from its motive will, its active desire,” in Hortense Spillers’s words—can be critically mapped.3 However, in deploying the dominant scripts of erotics and abjection used to simultaneously gaze at and erase Black and African migrant girls in the global North, the novella grapples with how to render visible that salvationist gaze while, at the same time, opening a space for Abigail’s humanness outside of the constraints of that gaze. Indeed, Abani’s prose marks the difficult work of hearing Abigail’s truth under these conditions. The novella attempts to navigate this narrative dilemma by developing","PeriodicalId":41105,"journal":{"name":"Palimpsest-A Journal on Women Gender and the Black International","volume":"10 1","pages":"101 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49305206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piñuelas","doi":"10.1353/pal.2021.0004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/pal.2021.0004","url":null,"abstract":"Today, singer gal costa is widely considered one of Brazil ’s national treasures, a performer whose voice, musical stylings, and overall persona are lauded as essential to the legacy of Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), which is itself considered one of Brazil ’s greatest cultural exports. In a 2015 TV Globo television special celebrating her f ifty-year career as a popular music singer and performer, Costa was declared Brazil ’s greatest female singer. Affectionately referring to Costa by her childhood name, “Graçinha,” the special ’s host opens by ref lecting that “Gal Costa singing is poetry.”1 She continues to describe Costa as “extremely ref ined, and versatile,” a singer who “perfectly dominates technique and has one of the most beautiful voices in [Brazilian] music.” Some twenty years prior, a similar special aired on another of Brazil ’s major news programs, SBT Reporter, in which Costa was likewise declared to have “one of the most beautiful voices in [Brazilian] music.”2 While such tributes to Costa’s musical legacy follow different narrative threads, most tend to arrive at similar destinations: the assertion of Costa as a central piece of Brazil ’s sonic history, both at home and abroad. They also overwhelmingly tend to focus on Costa’s later career, and on the delicate and ref ined vocal tones that became her trademark. Beginning with her 1980 album Aquarela do Brasil, Costa has shaped both her performative and vocal character around a ballad-heavy, soft and sultry persona, taking up the lead of legendary Brazilian singers such as Astrud Gilberto and Nara Leão. Lost in these portrayals of Costa as a musical ambassador are the often contradictory, dissonant, and ambiguous performances that marked her early career. In the f irst decade of her career, Costa experimented with myriad musical and performative styles, borrowing from an assortment of","PeriodicalId":41105,"journal":{"name":"Palimpsest-A Journal on Women Gender and the Black International","volume":"10 1","pages":"64 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/pal.2021.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44355454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
