How do different ethnic groups approach the short story form? Do
different groups develop culture-related themes? Do oral traditions
within a particular culture shape the way in which written stories
are told? Why does "the community" loom so large in ethnic stories?
How do such traditional forms as African American slave narratives
or the Chinese talk-story shape the modern short story? Which
writers of color should be added to the canon? Why have some
minority writers been ignored for such a long time? How does a
person of color write for white publishers, editors, and
readers?
Each essay in this collection of original studies addresses these
questions and other related concerns. It is common knowledge that
most scholarly work on the short story has been on white writers:
This collection is the first work to specifically focus on short
story practice by ethnic minorities in America, ranging from
African Americans to Native Americans, Chinese Americans to
Hispanic Americans. The number of women writers discussed will be
of particular interest to women studies and genre studies
researchers, and the collections will be of vital interest to
scholars working in American literature, narrative theory, and
multicultural studies.
