"Critiquing Postmodernism in Contemporary Discourses of Race"
challenges the critical emphasis on otherness in treatments of race
in literary and cultural studies. Sue J. Kim deftly""argues that
this treatment not only perpetuates narrow identity politics, but
obscures the political and economic structures that shape issues of
race in literary studies. Kim's revelatory book shows how reading
authors through their identity ends up neglecting "both" complex
historical contexts "and" aesthetic forms. This comparative study
calls for a reconsideration of the bases for critical engagement
and a reading ethics that melds the best of historicist and
formalist approaches to literature.
