Partial Faiths : Postsecular Fiction In The Age Of Pynchon And Morrison

Attribution
John A. McClure
Publication Details
Book, University of Georgia Press, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Partial Faiths is the first study to identify a body of contemporary fiction in such terms, take the measure of its structures and strategies, and evaluate its contribution to public discourse on religion’s place in postmodern life. Postsecular fiction does not aspire to any full “mapping” of the reenchanted cosmos or any formal moral code, nor does it promise anything like full redemption.

Description
Building on the pioneering work of their predecessors, whose artistic creations were often tied to political activism and the civil rights struggle, today’s Chicano/a writers and artists feel free to focus as much on the aesthetic quality of their work as on its social content. Their conversations delve into such areas as how the artists’ or writers’ life experiences have molded their work, why they choose to work in certain genres and how they have transformed them, what it means to be Chicano/a in today’s pluralistic society, and how Chicano/a identity influences and is influenced by contact with ethnic and racial identities from around the world.
