Ethnic Modernism and the Making of US Multiculturalism in which
ethnic literary modernists of the 1930s play a crucial role.
Focusing on the remarkable careers of four ethnic fiction writers
of the 1930s (Younghill Kang, D'Arcy McNickle, Zora Neale
Hurston, and Américo Paredes) Sorensen presents a new view of the
history of multicultural literature in the U.S. The first part of
the book situates these authors within the modernist era to
provide an alternative, multicultural vision of American
modernism. The second part examines the complex reception
histories of these authors' works, showing how they have been
claimed or rejected as ancestors for contemporary multiethnic
writing. Combining the approaches of the new modernist studies
and ethnic studies, the book.
