Comparative literature scholar
Brent Hayes Edwards is a professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University .
Early life [ edit ]
Edwards attended Yale as an undergraduate, then completed an MA and PhD at Columbia.
Teaching [ edit ]
Edwards has taught at Rutgers University[1] and now at Columbia, as well as Cornell 's summer graduate program, the School of Criticism and Theory ,[2] and the Dartmouth summer graduate program The Futures of American Studies .[3]
Scholarship [ edit ]
Edwards's first book is The Practice of Diaspora: Literature, Translation, and the Rise of Black Internationalism (Harvard University Press , 2003). It examines black writers in the interwar period , focusing on sites of interaction between Anglophone and Francophone black writers to develop an argument about the generative potential of translation, specifically in the black diaspora.[4] Among other influences, Edwards draws on Stuart Hall 's use of the concept of articulation to develop a theoretical use of the French term décalage, "referring to a shift in space or time or the gap that results from it...[Edwards argues] that these disparate locations are, like joints, sites of potential forward motion."[5]
Edwards also edited the collection Uptown Conversation: The New Jazz Studies (Columbia University Press , 2004) with Farah Jasmine Griffin and Robert G. O'Meally .
In 2009, Edwards edited a new printing of W.E.B. DuBois 's The Souls of Black Folk from Oxford University Press .
Edwards serves on the editorial boards of Callaloo and Transition .
In 2023, Edwards co-wrote and edited the autobiography of jazz musician Henry Threadgill , Easily Slip into Another World: A Life in Music .[6]
Claude McKay manuscript discovery [ edit ]
In 2009, Edwards's graduate student Jean-Christophe Cloutier discovered a manuscript in Columbia's Rare Book and Manuscript Library in the papers of writer Samuel Roth .[7] In 2012, Edwards and Cloutier, in consultation with other experts and after examining archival materials and personal correspondence, authenticated the manuscript as a previously unknown 1941 work by Claude McKay , called Amiable With Big Teeth: A Novel of the Love Affair Between the Communists and the Poor Black Sheep of Harlem .[8] Henry Louis Gates , who served as one of the experts evaluating the manuscript's authenticity, called it a "major discovery...It dramatically expands the canon of novels written by Harlem Renaissance writers."[8]
In 2004, Edwards's book The Practice of Diaspora won the John Hope Franklin Prize from the American Studies Association [9] and the Gilbert Chinard Prize of the Society for French Historical Studies , and an honorable mention for the James Russell Lowell Prize of the Modern Language Association .[10]
In 2005, Edwards won the New York Public Library 's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Fellowship,[11] to spend one year researching a project on jazz in New York in the 1970s.[12]
In 2015, Edwards was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship [13] to pursue a book project entitled "The Art of the Lecture."[14]
