Publisher's Synopsis
Invites readers to an exploration of the complex, ever-changing relations between ethnic communities on the North American continent. Written by European and American scholars, the seventeen essays gathered in this volume focus on the complex dynamics of inter-ethnic and inter-racial contacts in American history, culture and literature. Rather than dwell on the traditional opposition mainstream versus minorities, the authors adopt a trans-ethnic, trans-national perspective, apt to shed new light on various forms of interaction between racial and ethnic groups in North America.
