Unbecoming Americans - Writing Race and Nation from the Shadows of Citizenship, 1945-1960

Informationen zum Autor JOSEPH KEITH is an assistant professor of English at Binghamton University, SUNY. Klappentext Unbecoming Americans identifies a canon of writers who, during the years after World War II, explored forms of belonging in the world outside the domain of modern citizenship. It examines works by C.L.R. James, Richard Wright, Claudia Jones, and Carlos Bulos that show how these writers employed aesthetic alternative forms to the novel, including memoir, cultural criticism, and travel narrative, to contest prevailing notions of race, nation, and citizenship.
