Drawing on Louis Althusser's concept of internal distantiation,
" Reconstituting Americans" reads post-1960s U.S. literature to
reveal the representational paradoxes of liberal multicultural
subjecthood. This engaging study uses historicist and formalist
methodologies within Marxist, psychoanalytic, and critical race
frameworks to discuss the formal techniques in the work of Arturo
Islas, Bharati Mukherjee, Jamaica Kincaid, Reginald McKnight, and
Audre Lorde. Megan Obourn deftly looks at the historical and social
realities of social identities, while simultaneously bringing to
the fore the limitations of liberal multicultural ways of
conceptualizing identity and difference.
