Hybrid narrative forms are used frequently by authors exploring or
living in multiple cultures at once as a method of reflecting
multicultural lives. This timely book examines this rhetorical
strategy, which permits an author to bridge cultures via literary
technique. Strategies covered include multilingualism, magical
realism, ironic humor, the use of mythological figures from the
characters' heritage cultures, and the presentation of different
perspectives on landscapes and other spaces as related to
ethnicity. By investigating elements of ethnic literature
comparatively, this book reaches beyond the boundaries of any one
ethnic group, a vital quality in today's world.
