Bøker av Cyrus R. K. Patell

Examining writing by Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and gay and lesbian Americans after 1968, this book compares and historicizes what might be characterized as the minority literatures within "US minority literature."

Bringing two voices into the discussion - Toni Morrison and Thomas Pynchon - to examine the different ways in which their writings embody, engage, and critique the official narratives generated by US liberal ideology, the author revises important ideas in the debate over individualism and the political theory of liberalism.
