Confessional Crises and Cultural Politics in Twentieth-Century
America revolutionizes how we think about confession and its
ubiquitous place in American culture. It argues that the sheer act
of labeling a text a confession has become one of the most
powerful, and most overlooked, forms of intervening in American
cultural politics. In the twentieth century alone, the genre of
confession has profoundly shaped (and been shaped by) six of
America's most intractable cultural issues: sexuality, class, race,
violence, religion, and democracy.
