Confluences 2

Langbeschreibung
The essays in this volume continue the examination, begun in Confluences 1, of the exciting new writing that has emerged in Canada in the past few decades. Employing a variety of approaches and addressing the many concerns engaging their author-subjects--memory, history, and concentric identities; the subordination of Indian women; the exploitation of Afro-Caribbean immigrants; the "nowarianism" of Indo-Caribbean Canadians; the legacy of Japanese internment during World War II; historical Black experience and meaningful aesthetics; Chinatown as geography, repository, and inspiration--this new body of writing collectively redefines and challenges the idea of Canadian Literature.
