| Sumario: | "Multiculturalism is a controversial topic both in the United States and in Germany. This interdisciplinary collection of essays by German scholars in American Studies and American scholars in German Studies analyzes the "other" from this dual perspective and from disciplines such as literary and cultural studies, political science, anthropology, and history. More particularly they examine multiculturalism in terms of national and ethnic identities, as well as gender and race, and look at the disciplines and institutions that produce and legitimize discourses on subjects such as minority literatures, feminism, and the notion of foreignness itself. What becomes clear in this volume is that careful attention must be paid to the particular conditions and varying ideological concepts that shape the term multiculturalism, i.e., the "national" historical, political, social, and institutional contexts in which it appears, circulates, and accrues meanings."--BOOK JACKET. |
