Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Moya's method illustrates her claim that contemporary African American and Latina/o literature rewards close reading within a social context....Moya restores sociality and emotion to the realm of close reading, even as the discipline of literary study has attempted to contrast such features with a rarefied "universal" aesthetic." -- Sonya Posmentier * American Literature * "Ultimately, The Social Imperative is a book that teaches us not only about literature, race, and criticism, but about life, how we live, and what it means that the world we live in has literature in it. It is a book that scholars in the humanities have been sorely needing, and critics of any theoretical school will find something useful and admirable in it." -- Michael Hames-Garcia * University of Oregon * "The Social Imperative" is an elucidating and engrossing book that has the potential to take its place immediately among the essential works that address close reading in relation to imaginative literature about race, gender, and ethnicity." -- Alan Wald * University of Michigan *

Reseña del editor:

This book elaborates the social-psychological concept of schema while championing the literary critical practice of close reading to show how literature reflects, promotes, and contests pervasive sociocultural ideas like race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality.
