Multicultural Optimism or the Potential Joys of Otherness

Original language description

The essay focuses on the literary reflection of the changing discourse on ethnicity and race in the second half of the twentieth century. It analyzes two novels of the 1990s that address the issue of ethnic identity from a humorous point of view. In bothGish Jen?s Mona in the Promised Land (1996) and Michael Dorris and Louise Erdrich?s co-authored novel The Crown of Columbus (1991) ethnic identity is no longer a tragic burden but a mask to be used or discarded, explored, embraced, or modified. Both novels are delightful and hilarious ways of addressing and challenging serious personal, ethnic, cultural and historical issues and thus they well document the paradigmatic shift in the acceptance of ethnicity and the re-interpretations of centrality and marginality in American culture.
