Many of the people who populate this book--Irish Catholics, Italian-Americans--were once considered ethnic but now fall wholly under the banner of white. And from their anxieties a man like Donald Trump emerges. Born and raised in Queens, Trump is both the product and purveyor of a localized nativist politic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe young white speaker of these poems works to record his parents' and neighbors', both white and of color, and his own attempts at navigating a shifting landscape. In poems on the homecoming of Vietnam vets, or the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, or the firebombing of Malcolm X's house, \u003ci\u003eThe Tenant of Fire\u003c\/i\u003e explores how and why the plurality of a place like Queens, where now nearly two hundred languages are spoken, is viewed as a threat to national security.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822965909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822965909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/23\/2019 pg. 1","brand":"Ryan Black","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086977085695,"sku":"9780822965909","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fef07492-f827-40f7-a6e8-fb03e7c06c66.jpg?v=1769097593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tenant-of-fire-ryan-black-9780822965909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
