"An exhilarating mix of unpredictable points of view . . . there's
real vitality in this anthology's crazy-quilt vision of
America."-Kirkus Reviews Is there such a thing as "American"
culture? No, says Ishmael Reed, the editor of this refreshing
anthology and a longtime critic of the mainstream media which, he
insists, marginalizes non-Anglo, non-Yankee cultures. In this
impressive collection of dissenting voices, Reed and other
African-Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Americans,
Italian-Americans, and Irish-Americans speak out against
monoculturalism and provide perspectives from points of view
frequently omitted from the discussion of race in the United
States. Addressing a broad variety of issues-including
assimilation; racial conflicts between minorities and within the
gay rights movement; victimization; and stereotyping-these essays
by notable writers, teachers, students, and professionals take us
far beyond the issues of black vs. white and often veer toward the
controversial. Stimulating, unpredictable, and provocative,
Multi-America introduces the authentic voices of Rainbow America in
all their diverse, angry, proud, celebratory glory. Contributors
