{"product_id":"the-invention-of-ethnicity-werner-sollors-9780195050479","title":"The Invention of Ethnicity","description":"This important new collection of interdisciplinary essays sets out to chart the cultural construction of \"ethnicity\" as embodied in American ethnic literature. Looking at a diverse set of texts, the contributors place the subject in broad historical and dynamic contexts, focusing on the larger systems within which ethnic distinctions emerge and obtain recognition. It provides a new critical framework for understanding not only ethnic literature, but also the underlying psychological, historical, social, and cultural forces.
