Colonialism And The Emergence Of Science Fiction

Attribution
John RiederPublication Details
BookWesleyan University Press2008Description
This is the first full-length study of emerging Anglo-American science fiction’s relation to the history, discourses, and ideologies of colonialism and imperialism. Nearly all scholars and critics of early science fiction acknowledge that colonialism is an important and relevant part of its historical context, and recent scholarship has emphasized imperialism’s impact on late Victorian Gothic and adventure fiction and on Anglo-American popular and literary culture in general.

The Gun And The Pen : Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, And The Fiction Of Mobilization

Attribution
Keith GandalPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2008Description
By bringing to light previously unexamined archival records of the Army, The Gun and the Pen demonstrates that the frustration of these authors’ military ambitions took place in the forgotten context of a whole new set of methods employed in the mobilization for the Great War–unprecedented procedures that aimed to transform the Army into a meritocratic institution, indifferent to ethnic and class difference (though not racial, or black-white, difference).

Calls And Responses : The American Novel Of Slavery Since Gone With The Wind

Attribution
Tim A. RyanPublication Details
BookLouisiana State University Press2008Description
Complicating the common assumption that authentic black-authored fiction about slavery is starkly opposed to the traditional, racist fiction (and history) created by whites, Ryan suggests that discourses about American slavery are–and have always been–defined by connections rather than disjunctions. A substantially new account of the development of American slavery fiction in the last century, Calls and Responses goes beyond merely exalting the expression of black voices and experiences and actually reconfigures the existing view of the American novel of slavery.

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

Attribution
John A. McClurePublication Details
BookUniversity of Georgia Press2007Links
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.

Plantation Airs : Racial Paternalism And The Transformations Of Class In Southern Fiction, 1945-1971

Attribution
Brannon CostelloPublication Details
BookLouisiana State University Press2007Links
Description
Focusing on the relationship between racial paternalism and social class in American novels written after World War II, Costello asserts that well into the twentieth century, attitudes and behaviors associated with an idealized version of agrarian antebellum aristocracy–especially, those of racial paternalism–were believed to be essential for white southerners. Fiction by Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, Ernest Gaines, Walker Percy, and others reveals, however, that the racial paternalism central to class formation and mobility in the South was unraveling in the years after World War II, when the civil rights movement and the South’s increasing industrialization dramatically altered southern life.

Invisible Suburbs : Recovering Protest Fiction In The 1950s United States

Attribution
edited by Josh LukinPublication Details
BookUniversity Press of Mississippi2008Description
Others trace the origins of sixties liberation movements to the fifties and celebrate America’s postwar prosperity, or argue that such new phenomena as rock ‘n’ roll, teenage consumerism, and Beat poetry gave Americans a new sense of freedom and identity. They uncover work that illustrates how groups and individuals challenged or resisted that oppression, fiction by authors who sometimes found roots in earlier liberation movements and anticipated later struggles.
