Mixing the High and the Low in Ishmael Reed's Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down: the Use of the Western Genre as a Medium for Serious Content

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Ishmael Reed is an African American novelist whose creative works have promoted multi-cultural society and the interests of minority ethnic groups. Although Reed's second novel YBRBD was written in 1969, it still remains to be remarkable for its use of the Western genre (a narrative tradition not particularly known for its reliance on highbrow content) as a medium for questioning and subverting of social and religious oppression. YBRBD is innovative it its non-standard use of themes that are traditionally associated with the Western genre. The novel depicts how a wealthy white land owner attempts to subordinate the young, female, and Native American inhabitants of a city after which the novel is named. An African American cowboy emerges as the main protagonist of the novel and also as the person who is to thwart such actions supported by religious leaders of the town.
