Opis

White Writers, Race Matters explores the popular tradition of white-authored novels about racism in America. What explains their success, and what are their limitations? This study examines these questions through rich case studies combining biography, historical analysis, close reading, and literary theory to map the significance of this genre and its ongoing relevance.

Recenzje

Jay's painstaking research into the spectrum of racial liberalism and the transformational possibility of white awareness proffers productive lines of enquiry for resistance studies.
