The Specter and the Speculative examines how historical subjects and texts within the African Diaspora are re-fashioned, re-animated, and re-articulated, as well as parodied, nostalgized, and defamiliarized. The essays, by emergent and established scholars, explore how "living" archives circulate and haunt the popular imagination, engendering afterlives and liberating prior narratives from their original context.
