Thesis (Ph.D.)--Howard University, 2014.

Using the black female vampire as a vehicle this project reveals deeply rooted assumptions about black women, and the invitation to continue exploring these assumptions implies that the representations of black women are sites of perpetual contestation and change. Chapter one traces the trope of vampirism as it appears across Octavia E. Butler's fiction, and reading Butler's fiction through the lens of vampirism allows us to engage the issues of consent embedded within the texts. Chapter two investigates how Butler, Jewelle Gomez, and Pearl Cleage's black female vampires may be read as responses to culturally constructed images of black women as vampiric cultural predators by fashioning their own literary vampires as sympathetic, problematizing the tireless stereotypes of the vampiric black woman via the Jezebel, Welfare Queen, and Sapphire stereotypes. Chapter three examines three contemporary films that feature black female vampires---Vamp (1986), Vampire in Brooklyn (1995), and Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2. This chapter focuses on the cultural logic that historically and even today justifies the vilification of black women's bodies just because they exist.
