African, Native, and Jewish American literature and the reshaping ofModernism
Kent, Alicia A.

African, Native, and Jewish American literature and the reshaping ofModernism[electronic resource] /Alicia A. Kent. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - x, 230 p. :ill.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [189]-212) and index.

African Americans: moving from caricatures to creators, Charles Chesnutt and Zora Neale Hurston -- Native Americans: moving from Primitive to Postmodern, Mourning Dove and D'Arcy McNickle -- Jewish Americans: moving from exile to authorship, Abraham Cahan and Anzia Yezierska.

What does the modern era look like to those labeled ?not modern? or ?traditional?? Refuting claims that their art was ?old world? and ?primitive,? African, Native, and Jewish American writers in the early twentieth century instead developed experimental strategies of self-representation that reshaped the very form of the novel itself. Uncovering the connections and confrontations among three ethnic groups not often readin relation to one another, Kent maps out the historical contexts thathave shaped ethnic American writing in the Modernist era, a period of radical dislocation from homelands and increased migration for these three ethnic groups. Rather than focus on the ways others have represented these groups, Kent restores the voices of these multicultural writersto the debate about what it means to be modern.
