Content: Les écrivains afro-américains participent volontiers à des colloques consacrés à leur œuvre en Europe, au motif que les chercheurs de ce côté de l'Atlantique s'intéressent à des aspects textuels fréquemment laissés de côté par les lecteurs étasuniens. Les essais rassemblés dans le présent volume découlent d'une réunion soutenue par le Conseil Scientifique de l'Université de Tours. D'autres essais furent sollicités par la suite afin que le présent volume soit, autant que faire se pouvait, à jour des nouvelles publications de l'auteur. Nous remercions Percival Everett de sa précieuse collaboration lors des débats, et de la longue interview qu'il nous a autorisés à transcrire ici. African-American writers willingly attend European symposiums dealing with their work because scholars here focus on textual aspects American readers frequently leave aside. The essays collected here arose on the occasion of such a symposium sponsored by the Conseil Scientifique de l'Université François-Rabelais de Tours. Other essays were commissioned later in order to make the collection as complete as possible when new books came out. We wish to thank Percival Everett for his enlightening collaboration during the debates, as well as for the long interview he has allowed us to transcribe here.

Content: Discrimination, stigmatization, xenophobia, heightened securitization – fear and blaming of "aliens within" – characterize the world infected by COVID-19. Such fears have a long cultural history, however, particularly in connecting pathology with race, poverty, and migration. This volume explores theory and narratives of disease, danger, and displacement through the lenses of cultural, literary, and film studies, historical representation, ethnics studies, sociology and cultural geography, classics, music, and linguistics. Investigations range from, for example, illness discourse in the ancient classics to images of perilous intruders in the Age of Trump, from the Haitian Revolution and subsequent zombie stereotypes to current, problematic refugee resettlement in the US South and Greek islands, from the urban underworld in nineteenth-century sensation novels to ethnic women "on the stroll" in coronavirus times. The collection is organized into three thematically intertwined parts: Stigmatizing the Racialized Underclass; Pathologizing the Other; Constructing and Countering Collapse. It examines changing or recurrent aporias in tropes of belonging and exclusion, as well as the birthing of new forms of identity, agency, and countercultural expression.
