商品簡介
Moser and West present American Multicultural Identity, a collection of scholarly essays that examine the impact on identity of living in two cultures at the same time, whatever the circumstance--immigrant, child of immigrants, mixed race, etc. They aim to foster an understanding of the way identity is highlighted and interpreted in American literature. Fourteen essays are divided by two sections: critical contexts and critical readings. Chapters cover the hyphenated American in twentieth and twenty-first century America; intersectioning lives; Sherman Alexie and the absolute truth of double-consciousness; four American poets explore hybrid identity formation and familial relationships; legalized hearts; unspoken histories and one-man museums; “She’s left me her legacy nonetheless”; race, ethnicity and national identity in Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones; “A Pizza Hut”; neither insider nor outsider but both; intimate relations; bridging borders; a tent of one’s own; “All growth involves change, all change involves loss”.
