商品描述
Race is central to American history. It is impossible to understand the United States without understanding how race has been defined and deployed at every stage of the nation's history. Offering a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the history of race, The Cambridge Companion to Race and American Literature shows how this history has been represented in literature, and how those representations have influenced American culture. Written by leading scholars in in African American, Latinx, Asian American, Native American, and white American studies, the essays in this volume address the centrality of race in American literature by foregrounding the conflicts across different traditions and different modes of interpretation. This volume explores the unsteady foundations of American literary history, examines the hardening of racial fault lines throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, and then considers various aspects of the multiple literary and complexly interrelated traditions that emerged from this fractured cultural landscape.

種族在美國歷史中佔據著核心地位。要理解美國,就必須了解種族在該國歷史的每個階段如何被定義和運用。《劍橋伴侶:種族與美國文學》提供了一個全面且易於理解的種族歷史介紹,展示了這段歷史如何在文學中被呈現,以及這些呈現如何影響了美國文化。本書由非裔美國人、拉丁裔美國人、亞裔美國人、原住民美國人和白人美國人研究領域的領先學者撰寫,其中的文章通過突出不同傳統和不同解讀方式之間的衝突,探討了種族在美國文學中的核心地位。本書探討了美國文學史的不穩定基礎,檢視了19世紀末至20世紀期間種族分歧加劇的情況,然後考慮了從這個破碎的文化景觀中出現的多種文學和複雜相互關聯的傳統的各個方面。
