{"product_id":"the-inhuman-race-leonard-cassuto-9780231103374","title":"The Inhuman Race: The Racial Grotesque in American Literature and Culture","description":"Reconstructs a dialogue between objectifiers (American Puritans, slaveowners) and objectifieds (Native Americans, slaves) by arguing that the literature of race in antebellum America is the continuing story of an encounter with the grotesque. The focus is on literature-from Puritan captivity accounts, fugitive slave narratives, and proslavery fiction to the work of Melville, Stowe, Douglass, and their contemporaries. But Cassuto also ranges from colonial prodigies to nineteenth-century freak shows and Sambo stereotyping, from horror movies to the Holocaust Museum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Cassuto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231103379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231103374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.02w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/1997 pg. 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/1997","brand":"Leonard Cassuto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056683380991,"sku":"9780231103374","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54947a17-0b78-41ac-887c-ca3e54da3541.jpg?v=1685042683","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-inhuman-race-leonard-cassuto-9780231103374","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
