Complicating Constructions: Race, Ethnicity, and Hybridity in American TextsDavid S. Goldstein, Audrey B. Thacker This volume of collected essays offers truly multiethnic, historically comparative, and meta-theoretical readings of the literature and culture of the United States. Covering works from Toni Morrison to Bret Harte, these essays provide a vital supplement to the critical literary canon, mapping a newly variegated terrain that refuses the distinction between “ethnic” and “nonethnic” literatures. |
