In this original study, Peter Brooker takes issue with the
simplified opposition of postmodernism to modernism in accounts of
the modern period. Instead, he follows the course of modernity in
the spectacular example of New York, to reveal the complexities of
both modernist and postmodern responses to the city. Brooker's
study refers us to the fiction of Doctorow, Don DeLillo and Toni
Morrison and especially to the new urban `ethnic' writing. Here the
voice of creative dissent and cultural hybridity expresses the best
in a tradition of Amerian newness; this Peter Brooker calls the
`new modern'. The text is an important contribution to contemporary
debates on modernism and postmodernism, providing a thorough
interdisciplinary study of new American writing within the
socio-economic context of New York City and will be of great
interest to students of American Studies, Cultural Studies and
Literature.
