His aim is the articulation of a fresh, transgeographical conception of American culture, one more responsive to the geographical ties and political crosscurrents of the hemisphere than to narrow national ideologies.\u003cbr\u003eSald�var pursues this goal through an array of oppositional critical and creative practices. He analyzes a range of North American writers of color (Rolando Hinojosa, Gloria Anzald�a, Arturo Islas, Ntozake Shange, and others) and Latin American authors (Jos� Mart�, Roberto Fern�ndez Retamar, Gabriel Garc�a M�rquez, and others), whose work forms a radical critique of the dominant culture, its politics, and its restrictive modes of expression. By doing so, Sald�var opens the traditional American canon to a dialog with other voices, not just the voices of national minorities, but those of regional cultures different from the prevalent anglocentric model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dialectics of Our America, \u003c\/i\u003e in its project to expand the \"canon\" and define a pan-American literary tradition, will make a critical difference in ongoing attempts to reconceptualize American literary history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591879508119,"sku":"9780822311690","price":3355.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780822311690.webp?v=1774974985","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-dialectics-of-our-america-genealogy-cultural-critique-and-literary-history-9780822311690","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
