内容説明
With the increasing realization that we are members of a truly global community comes great interest in the works of minority authors and scholars around the world. The first annotated bibliography with a fully global perspective, this comprehensive, one-volume guide lists some 1,600 of the best multicultural titles geared to a general adult readership. Compiled by the renowned author of Our Family, Our Friends, Our World winner of the Denali Press Award-with individual chapters authored by prominent librarians, academics, and subject specialists, Global Voices, Global Visions introduces and evaluates the literature of cultures and regions around the world: U.S./African Americans; U.S./Asian Americans; U.S./Latinos; U.S./Native Americans; Canada; Latin America and the Caribbean; Great Britain and Ireland; Western Europe; the Middle East; Africa; Central and Southern Asia; East Asia; Southeast Asia; Australia/New Zealand, and the Pacific. The literature discussed is available in English and includes contemporary and historical fiction, poetry, drama, social science and history titles, essays and biographical works. This unique guide also features an appendix of additional biographical, bibliographical, and critical resources, and author, title, and subject indexes. For use as a selection tool or as a general guide to the literature of the world, Global Voices, Global Visions is an essential purchase for libraries wishing to expand representation of different cultures and ethnicities. Each chapter features: * a map to help the reader locate the country/region * an introduction giving an overview of the region and culture and highlighting major events and themes * annotations divided into three groups: fiction, drama, and poetry; nonfiction; and biography. Each annotation describes the content of the book, its contribution, possible uses and audiences; and related works. * cross-references to other chapters where necessary.
