内容説明

Designed for a first-year composition course or an advanced composition course; also appropriate for writing-intensive courses in sociology or psychology where the focus is on identity formation, cultural pluralism, or multiculturalism. Showing the interconnections between such issues as race, class, and gender, this refreshingly different multicultural reader introduces basic rhetorical strategies for analyzing the complex variables which define identity in the postmodern world. Focusing on writing to learn, and critical consciousness raising, it brings together some of today's most respected theorists, with selections ranging from 'high brow' essays in popular magazines to fiction and 'creative' writing from counter-culture sources.
