An introduction to the study of ethnic American fictions organised into four sections, each written by a specialist in the fields of African American, Asian American, Chicano/a and native American literature. Writers are discussed in their cultural/political contexts and literary traditions (rather than as exceptions or as individuals, or on a generic basis). The book highlights common themes in ethnic writing as well as specificities, and has extensive suggestions for further reading as well as a critical introduction regarding the concept of 'ethnic writing'. No competing titles - there are no textbooks, no beginners' books nor any systematised combination of ethnic fictions such as this - only edited collections on each area.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: BeginningsItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 290gTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
