Description

Gross ethnic abstractions within works by Howells, Mark Twain, Henry James, Edith Wharton, and Charles Chesnutt hints at realism's vexed and complicated relationship with the caricatured ethnic images that played a central role in late nineteenth-century American thinking about race, identity, and national culture."--Résumé de l'éditeur
