Invisibility in African American and Asian American Literature

- A Comparative Study
Af: Klara Szmanko Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser

The book is a comparative study of the invisibility trope in African American and Asian American literature. It distinguishes between various kinds of invisibility and offers a genealogy of the term while providing a theoretical dissection of the invisibility trope itself. Investigating the various ways of striving for visibility, the author places special emphasis on the need for cooperation among various racial groups.

While the book explores invisibility in a variety of African American and Asian American literary texts, the main focus is on four novels: Ralph Ellison''s Invisible Man, Sam Greenlee''s The Spook Who Sat by the Door, Maxine Hong Kingston''s Tripmaster Monkey and Chang-rae Lee''s Native Speaker. The book not only sheds light on the oppressed but also exposes the structures of oppression and the apparatus of power, which often renders itself invisible. Throughout the study the author emphasizes that power is multi-directional, never flowing only in one direction. The book brings to light mechanisms of oppression within the dominant society as well as within and between marginalized racial groups.
