- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
In their rejection of mimetic representation and traditional historiography, postmodern slave narratives such as Ishmael Reed?s Flight to Canada, Octavia Butler?s Kindred, Toni Morrison?s Beloved, Charles Johnson?s Ox Herding Tale and Middle Passage, Jewelle Gomez?s The Gilda Stories, and Samuel Delany?s Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand set out to counter the usual slave narrative?s reliance on realism and objectivity by creating alternative histories based on subjective, fantastic, and non-realistic representations of slavery.

The Historian’s Wizard Of Oz : Reading L. Frank Baum’s Classic As A Political And Monetary Allegory

Attribution
edited by Ranjit S. Dighe
Publication Details
Book, Praeger, 2002
Description
The heart of the book is an annotated version of The Wizard of Oz that highlights the possible political and monetary symbolism in the book by relating characters, settings, and incidents in it to the historical events and figures of the 1890s, the decade in which Baum wrote his story. Despite an incongruence with Baum’s intent, reading the story as a parable continues to provide a remarkable window into the historical events of the 1890s and, thus, constitutes a tremendous teaching tool for historians, economists, and political scientists. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
