Recenzii

"Unlike so many of his academic colleagues, Michaels has little interest in the effort to design more intricate notions of group identity... Rather, he wishes to jettison those notions altogether... Race, for Michaels, isn't a fact of nature or a social experience; it's an intellectual fallacy. Culture isn't a living tradition or a font of wisdom; it's more like a phantom limb or a false memory." - Alexander Star, The New Yorker "Michaels's name tends to provoke irritation and even outrage from many academics, as if his work constituted a personal insult... The fact that he provokes such anger and resentment seems to me to signify that his work exposes ethical dilemmas which most academics are more comfortable repressing, that he somehow exposes the 'bad faith' of the University." - Loren Glass, Modern Language Studies "Cunning, brilliant, acutely suggestive, often exhilarating to read, Micheals has nonetheless become the Alan Bakke of American literary criticism... His neopragmatist version of negation simply forbids any account of American culture which would make reference to raced and ethnic identities... Michaels is way too cynical to allow himself to be for anything." - Eric Lott, Transition "Our America is not only a genealogy and a critical reassessment of the legacy of modernism. It is also a provocation, to both our sense of history and our sense of ourselves." - Carla Kaplan, Modernism/Modernity

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Michaels contends that the aesthetic movement of modernism and the social movement of nativism came together in the 1920s in their commitment to resolve the meaning of identity - linguistic, national, cultural, and racial. Just as the Johnson Immigration act of 1924, which excluded aliens, and the Indian Citizenship Act of the same year, which honored the truly native, reconceptualized national identity, so the major texts of American writers such as Cather, Faulkner, Hurston, and Williams reinvented identity as an object of pathos - something that can be lost or found, defended or betrayed. Our America is both a history and a critique of this invention, tracing its development from the white supremacism of the Progressive period through the cultural pluralism of the Twenties. Michaels's sustained rereading of texts of the period - the canonical, the popular, and the less familiar - exposes recurring concerns such as the reconception of the image of the Indian as a symbol of racial purity and national origins, the relation between WWI and race, contradictory appeals to the family as model for the nation, and anxieties about reproduction that subliminally tie whiteness and national identity to incest, sterility, and impotence.
