American Mythologies: Essays On Contemporary Literature,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This challenging new book looks at the current reinvention of American Studies: a reinvention that, among other things, has put the whole issue of just what is American and what is American Studies into contention. The collection focuses, in particular, on American mythology. The editors themselves have written essays that examine the connections between mythologies of the United States and those of either classical European or Native American traditions. William Blazek considers Louise Erdrichs Love Medicine novels as chronicles combining Ojibwa mythology and contemporary U.S. culture in ways that reinvest a sense of mythic identity within a multicultural, postmodern America. Michael K Glendays analysis of Jayne Anne Phillips work and explores in it the contexts where myth and dream interact with each other. Betty Louise Bell is one of four essayists in this collection who focus their criticism on authors of Native American heritage. In the first part of Indians with Voices, Bell carefully argues that Roy Harvey Pearces seminal Native American studies text Savagism and Civilization fails to acknowledge its white elitist assumptions about what constitutes The American Mind and views Native Americans along a primitivesavage binary that helped to create a twentiethcentury national mythos of innocence and destiny. Other essays include Christopher Brookemans study of the impact of Muhammad Ali on Norman Mailers nonfiction writing about heavyweight boxing.
