Confluences 2 - Essays on the New Canadian Literature

The essays in this volume continue the examination, begun in Confluences 1, of the exciting new writing that has emerged in Canada in the past few decades. Employing a variety of approaches and addressing the many concerns engaging their author-subjects--memory, history, and concentric identities; the subordination of Indian women; the exploitation of Afro-Caribbean immigrants; the "nowarianism" of Indo-Caribbean Canadians; the legacy of Japanese internment during World War II; historical Black experience and meaningful aesthetics; Chinatown as geography, repository, and inspiration--this new body of writing collectively redefines and challenges the idea of Canadian Literature.
