This chapter explores how Percival Everett’s Erasure (2001) and Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s We Cast a Shadow (2019) satirically dismantle and ethically critique the limited cultural space afforded to Black male anger, while also providing deeper insight into the complexities of anger in relation to racial and spatial politics. Reading contemporary African American satire through an emotion-race-space framework, I argue, provides a means for examining the continuing confinement of Black emotions at the confluence of racial and spatial oppression. While Everett’s Black writer-protagonist is angry about the strictures of race within the white publishing landscape, Ruffin’s protagonist rejects anger altogether in order to obtain a semblance of safety as a Black man in anti-Black geographies. Although both satirical storyworlds deliberately complicate empathetic engagement with their flawed protagonists, they even more importantly encourage revolutionary outrage at a society that routinely confines Black social, material, and psychological space.
