The Romance of Race - Incest, Miscegenation, Multiculturalism in United States, 1880 1930

Informationen zum Autor JOLIE A. SHEFFER is an associate professor of English and affiliated faculty in American Culture Studies at Bowling Green State University. Klappentext The national identity of the US was transformed between 1880 and 1930 due to mass immigration, imperial expansion, the rise of Jim Crow, and the beginning of the suffrage movement. This examines the role of minority women writers and reformers in the creation of modern American multiculturalism by placing minorities at the centre of American identity and imagining a new national narrative based on the model of an interracial nuclear family.
