Their dramas rewrite history to reflect their political activism and espouse a shared value system that demands responsible action, equitable reward, and recognition...

Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, Don Delillo: Narratives of Everyday Justice
ISBN: 9781433112942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The novels of Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, and Don DeLillo propose new readings of justice in contemporary American literature. Jason S. Polley argues that such distinctive writers as Smiley, Franzen, and DeLillo reconfigure what he calls -acts of justice- in various modalities and spaces. These authors re-conceptualize justice in their portrayals of peripheral groups, such as women, minorities, and outcasts. In lieu of fictionalizing justice in conventional courtrooms, these writers narratives make a virtue of representing the undetermined and everyday presence of justice. As a result,...

The Nation of Islam and Black Consciousness: The Works of Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, and Other Writers engages in the scholarly discussions about the origins and formation of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which rarely give credit to the role of the Nation of Islam's (NOI) teachings in the emergence of the movement and in shaping the subjects and themes of its literary works. This book reevaluates the common belief that Malcolm X is the most appealing black historical figure in the movement's literature and demonstrates how the NOI's perception of black consciousness shaped...

The publication of James Baldwin s Go Tell It on the Mountain ushered in a new age of the urban telling of a tale twice told yet rarely expressed in such vivid portraits.

Although each took a different path in attaining this goal, the writers considered here Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, Lew Welch, and Michael McClure sought a new and closer connection to the natural world.

The alleged affair between Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, and his slave Sally Hemings was proven as a fact by DNA analysis in 1998.

However, the identity and the dignity of the Hemings family, which were previously ignored in the official history, have been restored not only by science but also by literature. This book examines how African...

Don DeLillo winner of the National Book Award, the William Dean Howells Medal, and the Jerusalem Prize is one of the most important novelists of the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. While his work can be understood and taught as prescient and postmodern examples of millennial culture, this book argues that DeLillo s recent novels White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Underworld, and The Body Artist are more concerned with spiritual crisis. Although DeLillo s worlds are rife with rejection of belief and littered with faithfulness, estrangement, and desperation, his novels...
