Kafka's Blues: Figurations of Racial Blackness in the Construction of an Aesthetic
Mark Christian Thompson
Presents the startling thesis that many of Kafka's major works engage in a coherent, sustained meditation on racial transformation from white European into what Kafka refers to as the "Negro" (a term he used in English). Indeed, this bookdemonstrates that cultural assimilation and bodily transformation in Kafka's work are impossible without passage through a state of being "Negro".
