Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

""West of the Border "is an informed and insightful study of the multicultural literature of the West that should contribute in significant ways to scholars understanding of the ways in which minorities negotiate identity in a hegemonic culture." -- Carter Jones Meyer, Ramapo College of New Jersey" "Lape breaks new ground in multicultural and western studies with this superb interdisciplinary work. Defining the frontier as a place of contact between settled and advancing cultures, the author focuses on the perspectives of those who came into conflict with western Anglo settlement." -- " Choice" "[Lape] discusses a variety of works of interest to scholars in American and cultural studies, focusing on issues of culture, ethnicity, and stereotypes within Western frontier writing. Recommended for academic libraries and libraries with strong American studies collections." -- " Library Journal"

Reseña del editor:

An examination of the writings of 19th- and turn-of-the-20th-century Native, African, Asian and Anglo-American frontier writers. It views frontiers as "human spaces" where cultures make contact as it considers multicultural frontier writers who speak from "west of the border".
