Class Definitions: On the Lives and Writings of Maxine Hong Kingston, Sandra Cisneros, and Dorothy Allison - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
This book begins with two questions. First, how does working-class status intersect with gender, race, sexual orientation, and religion? Second, how do working-class status and other identities play out in the lives and work of individual writers? The text answers these questions by closely examining the lives and writings of the three authors named. It argues that despite the differences in the authors' ethnic backgrounds, their work is characterized by traits widely recognized as markers of working-class writing: a desire to provide a voice for the voiceless, an emphasis on solidarity, and a focus on representing the lived experience of working-class people. A chapter, written in highly accessible and lucid prose, is devoted to each author. Unpublished interviews with Kingston, Cisneros, and Allison are included. The book concludes by reiterating the vitality and importance of working-class women's literature. Michelle M. Tokarczyk is a Professor of English at Goucher College.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. (Dustjacket is in protective Brodart mylar). Far too often, Tokarczyk (English, Goucher College) argues, those writing about either working class writing or ethnic writing fail to recognize that the works of many authors can be both, as class cuts across ethnic and racial lines. Because of the dominant picture of the American working class as white and male, the same can be said about women's writing versus working class writing. In contrast, she reads Maxine Hong Kingston, Sandra Cisneros, and Dorothy Allison explicitly as working class writers, examining the life and works of each in separate chapters after providing an overview of working-class literature by women in the United States.
